Chief Executive Officer Sigve Brekke forecasted that the market would be fully saturated by the end of next year. The penetration rate was likely to be as high as 150 per cent in big cities as mobile users tend to have more than one SIM card. With market saturation and mobile number portability likely to be implemented next year, the competition would significantly shift from price to customer focus.
"As the market evolves, we need to adjust ourselves to survive in the new competition era. We have to change the way we work and the way we treat our customers. We have to change and we have to do it now," he said.
The company expects to spend Bt190 million on the re-branding.
