Since each country’s broadcasting industry operates under different economic and political environments, the digital switching processes also vary among countries. Thailand has its own way of switching off analogue and transitioning to digital, which provides an opportunity for each Thai broadcaster to work out its own business strategy. In Thailand, the multiplex operators cannot allocate the spectrum to the broadcasting operators by themselves, rather the broadcasting licenses on commercial channels will be distributed to the operators by auction. This differs from the procedure in England and the U.S., where the multiplex operators can manage freely the usage of their multiplexes. A second feature in Thailand is that broadcasting licenses on commercial channels are distributed through auction while licenses on non-commercial channels are distributed by a “beauty contest”. But in Sweden, for instance, broadcasting licenses for both commercial and non-commercial channels are distributed by a beauty contest. Therefore, the experiences of foreign countries are not a useful guide for Thailand. It is worthwhile to study the broadcast operators’ decision during the transition under some possible circumstance not only for predicting the market outcome but also for an efficient adoption of future technology.
