The planned establishment of a national TV streaming platform is far more than the launch of another video application; it is intended to ensure that every Thai can conveniently access all free-to-air television channels through the internet, according to commissioner of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) Pirongrong Ramasoota.
Mrs Pirongrong, who oversees the broadcasting sector, said this would preserve the principle of universal access to public-interest content, including news, emergency alerts, educational programming, cultural content and nationally significant events.
