The planned merger of True Corporation and Total Access Communication (DTAC) is expected to face tougher scrutiny by the new board of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), which took office last week.
At least two out of the five NBTC board members had expressed unease with the deal before coming into office, according to a source at the new NBTC board who requested anonymity.
The five commissioners were endorsed on April 13 with their names published in the Royal Gazette a day later.
