The national telecom regulator is planning to announce regulations
next month under which a scheme for phone-number portability will
be implemented towards the end of next year.
The scheme will allow users of mobile and fixed-line telephones
to switch networks without giving up their old numbers.
"The board will consider the final draft and launch the regulations
in December, and then it will take about 8-10 months for telecom
operators to prepare their networks and services," said National
Telecommunications Commission (NTC) member Prasit Prapinmongkolkarn.
The NTC expects number-portability services to be launched in Thailand
by the end of next year, he said.
