Thailand’s NBTC to mandate biometrics for SIM registrations

Telecom Namibia (TN) the state-owned telecommunications operator, has taken what it describes as a proactive step to align with regulatory requirements by deactivating 191,598 unregistered prepaid subscriber identity module (SIM) cards.

Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has reportedly revoked the telecoms licence of mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) K4 Communication Company after its directors were arrested for alleged fraud.
