Jirayuth Rungsrithong, chief executive officer of CAT, said yesterday that CAT had told DTAC about the Office of the Attorney-General's notice and would formally inform the telecom soon.
DTAC declined to comment, pending the formal discussion with CAT.
CAT had first asked the Office of the Attorney-General on April 22 whether an upgrade to DTAC's network to provide third-generation wireless broadband service was permissible under its concession.
The office replied to CAT in September that it had declined to express an opinion on the matter. This led CAT to ask for its opinion again that month. The office gave its affirmative reply to CAT last week.
DTAC went ahead and launched the commercial 3G service on its 850-megahertz spectrum in the middle of August in Bangkok without waiting for the office's reply to CAT.
DTAC argued that the launch complied with the concession. It has insisted that it can launch its commercial 3G service under the permit it secured from the now-defunct National Telecommunications Commission to install and use a 3G-HSPA (high-speed packet access) network.
DTAC has been waiting for CAT's permit since 2008 to upgrade the network to offer the 3G service. DTAC needed to launch the service or risk losing its premium customers to Real Move and Advanced Info Service, which have already made full 3G services available.
DTAC is scheduled to complete the installation of 1,200 3G base stations in Bangkok and 20 other provinces by February, of which 800 bases have already been put in place.
