The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) plans to hold talks with the Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry to allocate some satellite orbital slots for use specifically for the country's security.
The move is in line with a resolution made by both the National Space Policy Commission and National Digital Economy and Society Commission, which assigned state enterprise National Telecom (NT) to pursue the national satellite development policy and security objectives.
AM Thanapant Raicharoen, an NBTC commissioner, said the agency is preparing to talk with the DES Ministry regarding the allocation of some specific satellite orbital slots for national security tasks.
