Partnership with Thai government agencies provides online access to disabled individuals and underprivileged students.
Bangkoktellink, a mobile network operator focused on social responsibility, has teamed up with three major Thai government organisations to deliver free internet services to disabled individuals and disadvantaged students. This initiative aims to enhance educational and personal development opportunities for these groups.
Led by CEO Natthakrit Sasiarnon, the company has partnered with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, and the Equitable Education Fund (EEF).
