Digital Economy, The Industry Speaks
In the second half of 2014 the Government of Thailand proposed a re-organization of the ICT sector around the concept of “Digital Economy”. This included changing MICT to Ministry of Digital Economy, establishing a National Committee for Digital Economy and Society, and several new laws and amendments to existing laws to underpin the new policy agenda.
