The chairman of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) is considering the possible supervision of over-the-top (OTT) platforms in Thailand.
Although major foreign OTT platform providers have already established their operations offices in Thailand and comply with the value-added tax (VAT) payment rules, the regulator is mulling whether these platform operators should pay additional fees to benefit the country's economy.
Supervision of OTT players would create a level playing field and ensure equal treatment in the telecom industry, said NBTC.
