The application capability of IT plays the critical role, which determines the efficiency and effectiveness of the aforementioned four processes. The process model of IT impacts on firm competitiveness can also be used to explain why, under what situations and how IT can generate positive organizational outcomes, as well as theoretical bases for further empirical study.展开更多

This situation has arisen from enforcement of the 2010 Frequency Allocation and Telecommunications Business Act and the establishment of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission （NBTC） as a single, combined regulatory body for broadcasting and telecommunications. The Act brings in significant changes through ＂liberalization＂ in telecoms and broadcasting markets. Key events expected in the future, such as the implementation of AEC in 2015 and the transformation from analog to digital systems will have significant detrimental impact on the Thai broadcasting industry. These changes will affect 524 AM and FM radio stations and around 7,000 community radio operations. This paper gives a picture of radio broadcasting industry, especially of community radio stations, their history, present and future. It also argues that the survival of radio stations in Thailand after 2015 will depend on （l） its social, institutional, financial, and technical abilities; and （2） the ability of NBTC to adopt and enforce policy and regulation for promoting free and fair competition.展开更多
