As of end 2007, Thailand has more than 50 mn mobile subscribers (80+% teledensity - wow!) and 12+ mn Internet users.
- In line with Internet users, the number of broadband subscribers was growing ; this means greater required bandwidth
- Liberalization of IGW (International GateWay) in 2006; there are 6 (six) international gateway operators in Thailand.
- After liberalization of international gateways, the number of Internet users increases (see pic below)
- In 2007 (right after liberalization of IGW) International Internet bandwidth increased by more than 2.5 times (around 25 Gbps as of Q4/2007)
Is any well-known international player licensed as IGW operator in Thailand ??
