PT, Optimus distance themselves from Cabovisao chatter

State-run Thai operator CAT Telecom will launch a full commercial version of its ‘My’ branded retail 3G W-CDMA/HSPA mobile service for provincial customers in January 2012, after cancelling a planned launch earlier this month due to the country’s disastrous flooding. The Nation newspaper reports that CAT’s 850MHz retail HSPA offering – currently operated as a very limited pre-commercial service – will initially only be available to post-paid users. The telco says it will invest THB300 million (USD9.5 million) on developing a ‘My’ pre-paid service, which is expected to be ready for launch by the middle of the year. [More]
