Travel	Thailand	Thailand's economic plunge in 1997 caused a sharp decline in the demand for telecommunications services that included landline telephone, cellular phone, radio communications, paging, and VSAT services . Consequently, planned investments in the expansion of 6 million landline telephones and cellular phones in the radio frequency ranges of 1500 and 1900-megahertz have been deferred . However, the installation of rural public long distance telephone lines and the installation of submarine fiber optic cable were not affected by the economic crisis. (references)
