Five major mobile operators have agreed in principle to start charging customers on a per-second basis from March 1.
The five — AIS, DTAC, True Move, TOT Plc and CAT Telecom — have committed to providing new promotional packages on a per-second basis, said Takorn Tantasith, secretary-general of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).
The agreement was signed yesterday after operators met with the NBTC to discuss the possibility of per-second charging.
. The move came after the National Reform Council on Tuesday endorsed a report by an NRC committee on consumer protection reform.
The report proposed that mobile phone fees be charged per second instead of per minute.
The operators said setting airtime charges on a per-second basis would not be a big deal, requiring only adjustments to IT and billing systems.
. But they said the new scheme could apply only to domestic calls, as international and roaming calls are charged on a six-second basis.
