TOT Plc says it will split access charge earnings from its financial statement to more accurately reflect the company's financial position and will begin negotiating with private operators on interconnection charges.
Djit Laowattana, a member of the TOT board, said access charge earnings would appear as a note to the state enterprise's financial report. They would not be included in its revenue numbers because service providers have refused to pay the charges.
The mobile operators DTAC and True Move have withheld access payments since last November, arguing that TOT should adopt the interconnection-fee system approved by the National Telecommunications Commission. TOT has been reluctant to comply since it earns 14 billion baht a year from access charges and believes it would earn less under the new system
The proposal would be submitted to the TOT board for approval today, Mr Djit said. If approved, access charges would appear as a remark in its monthly financial statement next month, he said.
He said that earnings from access charges were uncertain because all concession agreements made with private operators, DTAC and True Move, would soon expire.
He said that TOT had started to negotiate interconnection charges with private operators. He said DTAC had assured TOT that it would accept a flat-rate system, he said.
At present TOT earns 200 baht per number per month on postpaid service and 18% on prepaid services from DTAC and True Move.
