Oct. 3--In an attempt to offset an expected decline in Internet access revenue, Internet Thailand Plc plans to invest over 270 million baht over three years to diversify into other areas, aiming to generate at least 50 percent of its revenue from services other than Net access within five years.

According to the company's business plan, 80 million baht would go to expand its Internet data centre business. Another 70 million will be invested in the Metro LAN (Local Area Network) project, which involves high-speed Net access service to the property sector, and 60 million in electronic bill presentation and payment services. Forty million baht will go to branch expansion, and the remaining 20 million to web advertising businesses.

The total investment will be financed by proceeds from the company's initial public share offering scheduled from Nov 2-7.

The state-owned Internet service provider will offer 110 million new shares at one baht par value to increase capital to 250 million baht from the current 122.5 million baht.

The estimated IPO price ranges from 3.20 baht to 4 baht. The Internet Thailand board will decide on the exact price by the end of this month, with trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand set for November this year.

The IPO represents 44 percent of the company's shares, with an additional 7 percent to be offered to its employees.
