It's another story "Musthave Rule" with the 32nd SEA Games "Cambodia 2023" in Cambodia between 5-17 May.

because the NBTC or the Broadcasting Commission

television business

and the National Telecommunications Commission warned SAT or the Sports Authority of Thailand

Do not monopolize according to the must have law.

Must admit that the "host" of the SEA Games Cambodia

Charged royalties with Thailand as high as 27.6 million baht, the most in ASEAN countries, where SAT is negotiating for Cambodia to reduce some of the prices.

But no matter what number the outcome of the negotiations comes out, it appears that the SAT has previously written a consultation letter with the NBTC on this case.

Because the broadcasting of sporting events is inevitably subject to equal accessibility rules or "Musthave Rules"!!

even though this board

The NBTC will not yet have an official comment.

But there was an answer from the working group at the level of NBTC officials informed to the SAT. It can be roughly concluded that

This SEA Games broadcast

It's in the must have rule.

Thai people must be able to watch the competition, regardless of whether the SAT allows any private entity to support and pay for the live broadcasting fee.

That is a private sponsor.

cannot be the sole broadcaster of the competition

As was the case in the past broadcast of the 2022 World Cup.

The rights must be granted to television operators.

and other platforms according to the rules must have!!

for this problem

SAT did not ask for budget support for buying the rights to broadcast live broadcasts of the SEA Games in Cambodia from the NBTC.

Therefore, regardless of how much SAT will conclude the broadcasting fee

SAT and Olympic Committee of Thailand

Will have to find a live broadcast royalty sponsor himself.

The conclusion is... no matter which one pays the royalties.

But you are not monopolized.

In the end, it's not without having to take out people's tax money to buy as usual.

It's funny how our country has this outdated rule!!
