True Corporation's Business Plan for Mobile Broadband with Frequency Re-farmingTelecomJournal
油
True Corporation is developing a business plan for mobile broadband using frequency re-farming. The plan summarizes key drivers of increasing mobile data traffic such as growing use of tablets, PCs, video content and cloud services. It forecasts that over the next 5 years, subscribers will increase 3.4 times while data traffic will grow 9.5 times, requiring at least 50 MHz of additional spectrum. The plan proposes using a heterogeneous network with low, high and WiFi bands to improve coverage, capacity and offload. It recommends refarming existing spectrum for LTE technology and leaving sufficient contiguous spectrum for future upgrades to LTE-Advanced.
UPDATE 8 version 2.4 Final (December, 2015)
Winners of 1800MHz and 900 MHz bidding
Thailands National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has finally been able to set a timetable for the country's 4G spectrum auctions, after the cabinet gave the green light to proceed with the auctions plans.
The NBTC expects to issue 4G licenses for the 1800 MHz spectrum and the 900 MHz spectrum.
UPDATE 7 version 2.2 (October, 2015)
MobileLTE may join the 900 MHz bidding
UPDATE 6 version 2.1 (September 22, 2015)

UPDATE 5 Version 1.6 (June 24, 2015)
The telecom committee of NBTC approved adding a maximum spectrum cap of 60 MHz for each operator in Thailand on June 23, 2015. The cap applies to telecom frequencies including those either under concessions or the license system and covers frequencies ranging from 470 MHz - 2600 MHz
UPDATE 4 Version 1.5 (May 15 2015)
Agreement reached between CAT TELECOM and DTAC whereas 5 MHz unused bandwidth from DTAC could be added to the auction giving it a total of 30 MHz divided into two slots of 15 MHz. However the regulator has rejected that proposal.
UPDATE 3 Version 1.4 (24 April, 2015)
Most common frequencies used worldwide for 4G/LTE
International spectrum usage
LTE FDD and LTE TDD device support
Smartphone support example
UPDATE 2: April 22, 2015. Version 1.3: MCOT has agreed to return its unused 60 MHz of bandwidth out of 144 MHz on the 2600 MHz spectrum. The state-run broadcaster will receive THB 100 million in compensation.

Mobile devices are increasingly popular while PCs decline. Smartphones now outsell PCs and their screens, processors, and networks continue advancing. Mobile networks are transitioning to high-speed 4G LTE. Worldwide, Android and iOS dominate the smartphone market. Content providers like the BBC are developing mobile strategies including responsive websites and apps targeting various mobile platforms and form factors.
1. China was first unified under the Qin Dynasty but it only lasted briefly before being succeeded by the Han Dynasty, which ruled for around 400 years.
2. When the Han Dynasty began to decline, China split into three kingdoms - Wei, Wu, and Shu - who fought for control for 80 years with no clear winner.
3. Eventually, the Sima clan from the Wei kingdom rose to power and established the Jin Dynasty, absorbing the other kingdoms and reuniting China under a new ruling family.
