The Central Administrative Court has thrown out a petition seeking an injunction on the planned merger of True Corporation and Total Access Communication (Dtac).
On Oct 20, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission's (NBTC) board voted 3-2 to take the position that it has no authority over the deal, which gave a green light to the merger to go ahead.
The board later issued remedy measures after acknowledging the proposed merger, but despite having these powers has long maintained it does not have final say over the deal itself.
