The telecom regulator has set up a subcommittee to follow up on the planned merger of Total Access Communication Plc (DTAC) and True Corporation Plc as well as draft measures to ensure the move will not harm the public interest.
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) also agreed to hire Chulalongkorn University to examine the impact of the merger.
The work is to be done in parallel with a study by Finansa, an independent adviser on the deal.
