Thailand's Shin Satellite targets south Asia

Shin Satellite Public Company Limited has been a leader in many respects. The company was founded in 1991, after it was granted the first license to launch and operate satellites in Thailand.  To date, Shin Satellite, a subsidiary of Thailand's largest telecommunications group - Shin Corporation - is still the only local satellite operator in Thailand. The company has also broken new ground in the Thai debt market. In November 1999, the company successfully launched a Bt3 billion ($68.7 million) deal that set the standard for public disclosure in the otherwise very private market. In this interview, Dr Dumrong Kasemset, executive chairman of Shin Satellite, talks about future plans and future deals.
