Digital TV operators petitioned the NBTC, demanding equal World Cup 2022 broadcast rights for all terrestrial platforms, following fan complaints about restricted viewing on IPTV, internet, mobile, and OTT.
True Corporation, a key sponsor, clarified that free broadcast rights, supported by their 400 million baht contribution, are intended only for satellite and cable transmission platforms, not for IPTV, internet, mobile, or OTT, citing NBTC's 'Must Have' and 'Must Carry' rules.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
