ICT Ministry postpones mandatory SIM-card registration

I have called both AIS and DTAC Call Centers, and it's official:

BANGKOK: -- The ICT Ministry has decided to postpone the deadline for registration of pre-paid SIM cards until further notice. No new deadline is given either to network operators or users. Both call centres have no further information for the time being.

DTAC / DPrompt
Khun Yo, supervisor at DTAC Customer Service, says he believe that no registration is necessary at all. The only post-paid users that would need to register is when the number will be used in the three deep southern provinces. Khun Yo added that concerned DTAC customers could call him directly on *1800.

AIS / One-2-Call
The leading provider's Call Centre, AIS, refused to comment the postponed registration requirements.

that was one idea that was never going to happen or work and would have crippled the sales of mobile phones.

Mr Thaksin's investments in mobile phone companies is entirely incidental.

Someone posted a comment the other day (here, I think) that the Thais start off with laws that are enforced but end up with mere wishful thinking and good intentions. How true :roll:
