Thailand’s state-owned telecommunications company, National Telecom (NT), is reportedly engaging in discussions with at least four potential partners — including major local rivals Advanced Info Service (AIS) and True Corp. — to form strategic alliances aimed at revitalizing its declining telecom services.

These talks involve collaborations around NT’s mobile and fixed broadband segments. Proposed partnership models include infrastructure sharing, joint marketing initiatives, and customer base expansion, primarily based on profit-sharing arrangements. Such collaborations aim to reduce operational costs and boost revenue in a highly competitive market.
