Shin Satellite Public Company Limited.
Originally called Shinawatra Satellite,
Shin Satellite Public Company Limited was
founded in 1991 after it was granted a license
from Thailand 's Ministry of Transport and
Communications permitting it to launch and
operate satellites. It was the first company
in Thailand to be allowed to do this, and
the first privately-owned satellite company
in Asia. His Majesty King Bhumiphol Adulyadej
graciously provided a name for our satellite
series, Thaicom, symbolizing the link between
Thailand and modern communications technology. |
