The Bangkok Post reports that Thai state-run telco TOT's labour union is seeking 12,000 employee signatures by next month for a petition protesting a law that will require the company to transfer all revenue it currently earns from build-transfer-operate (BTO) telecoms concessions to the government. Section 84 of the Frequency Allocation Act stipulates that TOT and sister company CAT Telecom must return revenue from their concessions and frequency-related services to the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), starting on 20 December 2013. The regulator will then pass the revenue to the state.
