Thailand must urgently strengthen its "communication sovereignty" to protect national interests in an increasingly borderless digital environment dominated by global technology platforms and emerging low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks, according to AM Thanapant Raicharoen, commissioner of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).
"Threats to national security have evolved far beyond conventional military confrontations," he said, adding that cybercrime, call centre scams, and online fraud continue to inflict substantial economic damage.
