NBTC Commissioners Dispute Allegations of Meeting Recording Deletion
Three NBTC commissioners have issued a formal statement refuting claims by the acting secretary-general regarding the deletion of meeting audio records.
Three commissioners of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) have publicly challenged statements made by the acting secretary-general, Trairat Viriyasiri. According to a report by Prachachat Business, the commissioners issued a formal document denying allegations that audio recordings of a specific meeting were deleted.
Furthermore, the commissioners asserted that the special meeting in question, which proceeded without the presence of Dr. Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck, was conducted in full compliance with legal requirements. This dispute highlights ongoing internal administrative tensions within Thailand’s telecommunications regulatory body.
For residents and expatriates, this development is primarily an internal governance matter. While it does not currently impact the daily operations of telecommunications services or internet connectivity, it underscores a period of instability within the commission responsible for overseeing the country's digital infrastructure.
What remains to be confirmed is the official outcome of the internal investigation into these procedural claims and whether further regulatory actions will be taken to resolve the disagreement between the commissioners and the secretariat. Observers are waiting to see if this conflict will lead to changes in the commission's leadership or its decision-making processes. As of now, the situation remains a matter of administrative dispute rather than a disruption to public services.
