Loxley is preparing to sign a joint-venture deal with Mobile Partners Group of the UK to develop a complete range of services to support the provision of 3G services on behalf of TOT, according to Bangkok Post.

Loxley says it will offer fully integrated services from marketing, management, billing and after-sales services to customer relationship management.
