In Thailand gibt es zwar zahlreiche Anbieter fuer den Internetzugang, die Nutzerzahl ist fuer Asien aber unterdurchschnittlich.

wenn sich das aendert werden die Festnetzanbieter - TTT, TA - davon profitieren.

UCOM ist dennoch gut, weil die Thais das Handy so sehr lieben.

first

First approved for online trading

Nuntawan Polkwamdee

Phillip Securities has become the first broker to process Internet trading on
the Stock Exchange of Thailand with a successful transaction processed on
Dec 29 last year.

The broker, the first to be approved by the Stock Exchange of Thailand for
Internet trade, is a subsidiary of Singapore-based Phillip Securities and is
currently ranked twelfth in the local market based on turnover volume.

Other brokers in the queue for trading on the Internet include Capital
Nomura Securities, Yuanta Securities, ABN Amro (Asia) Securities and
National Securities.

"We expect that half of the current 28 brokers could offer online trading
within this year," said Vikit Kachonnarongvanich, executive director of
Phillip Securities.

He said that online trading serves as an alternative channel for investors,
particularly those who do their own investment analyses and do not have to
talk to marketing staff.

"In Singapore, online trading has been in place for over three years. But it
was only after the second year that the online trading became more popular
among investors there. Now it accounts for about 10% of total market
turnover," Mr Vikit said.

The trading system was developed by Phillip Securities in Singapore three
years ago, and was also introduced successfully in Hong Kong last year.

Probably, this was because both Singapore and Hong Kong were more
susceptible to the impact caused by the globalisation wave from the West
than any other countries in Asia, he said.

For Phillip Securities (Thailand), online trading this year was expected to
contribute about 5% of the company`s total turnover.

Mr Vikit said he expects that trading through the Internet would still be in the
doldrums in the first year since there were currently only 600,000 Internet
users, the number of which was relatively low when compared to the level
of subscribers in Singapore, Hong Kong or Europe.

However, the volume of online trading was expected to grow at a
spectacular rate in later years.

Mr Vikit said that to trade through Phillip Securities` web site , customers
would have to make a deposit of at least 50,000 baht with the company
beforehand.

They would not be allowed to trade stock with combined value exceeding
the pre-approved line or the value of the securities pledged as collateral.
Short-selling is also prohibited.

Phillip says its trading system, POEMS, offers 24-hour services in Thai and
English, technical analysis tools, research reports and access to real-time
price quotes. Transactions are made by straight-through processing, with
orders directly sent to the SET.

Customers can access securities analysis and research through the web site.

A chat room is also available to communicate with marketing officers.

Customers could also cancel their orders through Phillip`s Telebroker, a
24-hour automated phone serviceMr Vikit said at present the company had
12 customers.

Investors pay a 0.5% commission fee for online trade, although this was
expected to drop in the future.

"We do not expect a lot of volume to be generated through the on-line
trading as most Thais have not yet become acquainted with the system.

"However, we are preparing for derivatives trading in the long term," Mr
Vikit said.

He predicted that the average daily turnover this year would be about 6.5
billion baht, which was slightly better than the previous year.

Investment in the stock market still played an important role as the interest
rate remained at a rather low level.
