Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) board has collapsed 9 times in 2 months amid a leadership crisis. After a selection committee found NBTC Chair Dr. Sorn ineligible, three remaining board members pushed to convene a 6-person board to address 148 pending agenda items—including urgent digital TV licensing matters expiring in 2027. Consumer groups and broadcasters urged the secretary-general to facilitate these meetings, while legal uncertainty paralyzes the regulator despite Dr. Sorn's court appeal.
