The related business unit reported Bt1.93 billion in revenue. The call centre under the management of One to One Contacts had the highest revenue and profit growth, as well as signing new contracts worth more than Bt800 million. Next year, the company sees revenue surpassing Bt1 billion.
The U-Trans business unit posted Bt2.06 billion in revenue, while the subsidiary Teda Co has signed a contract to construct an upstream power station in southern Bangkok for the Metropolitan Electricity Authority worth more than Bt400 million, for combined project value of more than Bt1 billion.
The mobile multimedia unit was directly adversely affected by the sluggish economy. The i-Mobile division, which sold more than 2.5 million mobile phones, is undergoing business restructuring.
Apart from creating and strengthening the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service network by linking up with CAT Telecom and preparing for new business pertaining to online e-commerce, the unit is pursuing sports-marketing opportunities via i-Sport Co. Hence the mobile multimedia unit should recover and attain considerable growth in the near future, Samart says.
