Advanced Info Service (AIS) and Total Access Communication are the expected winners of an auction of 900-MHz spectrum for 4G mobile networks. The Thai spectrum auction, as often is the case, has market leaders investing to maintain leadership and deprive rivals of capacity.
AIS, 23 percent owned by Singapore Telecommunications, has lagged its rivals on 4G services due to limited bandwidth capacity, and so has ample reasons to bid heavily to add more spectrum.
TAC, controlled by Norway's Telenor, arguably is more interested in using the low-frequency spectrum to provide better coverage.
True, 18 percent owned by China Mobile, was among the winners in an earlier auction of 4G spectrum.
