- True Corporation Public Company Limited (TRUE-R.BK), Thailand's leading telecom-tech company headquartered in Bangkok and founded in 1990 as TelecomAsia, provides comprehensive telecommunications and digital services across mobile, broadband, pay TV, and digital lifestyle segments primarily in Thailand. The company offers mobile services through TrueMove H and DTAC TriNet, including voice, data, 4G/5G connectivity across all 77 provinces; fixed broadband and internet via True Online with ultra-high-speed access over seven spectrum bands and Wi-Fi at over 140,000 hotspots; pay TV through TrueVisions encompassing cable TV and IPTV; and digital solutions under True Digital covering entertainment, online games, smart home devices, IoT, cloud, AI platforms, security, and healthcare for consumers, SMEs, and enterprises. It operates as a joint venture between Charoen Pokphand Group and Telenor, each holding about 30% ownership following the landmark 2023 amalgamation with Total Access Communication PCL (dtac), Southeast Asia's largest telecom merger by enterprise value that created the entity on March 1, 2023. Recent developments include the October 2025 completion of full network integration under the One Network project, consolidating towers, pooling spectrum for enhanced 5G coverage and speeds (up 4.39 times for dtac users), introducing dynamic spectrum sharing on 2600-MHz and new 1500-MHz/2300-MHz bands from the June auction, and leveraging AI for 15-20% carbon emission reductions toward net-zero by 2030; the True-dtac deal also won the Stock Exchange of Thailand's Deal of the Year award in 2024, recognizing synergies worth THB 250 billion in technology, operations, procurement, and revenue.
