BANGKOK: -- CAT Telecom will cut the service fee for its international Internet gateway (IIG) as much as 63 per cent, in order to compete with new providers.
The CAT board approved a rate reduction of 18-63 per cent Tuesday.
It said the cut would reduce IIG costs for Internet service providers (ISPs) by an average of 30 per cent.
Until recently CAT had a monopoly for IIG.
Telecommunications' regulator the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) opened up the IIG market by granting licenses to companies like True Internet Gateway.
