Under the planned partnerships, the partners will operate our telecom services, excluding mobile phones, as virtual network operators," said Mr Panthep, adding that Asian and European telecom companies had expressed interest.
A virtual network operator offers services to the market without owning any of the basic network infrastructure, instead buying capacity wholesale from established providers.
The partnership proposal will be submitted to the TOT board soon.
Mr Panthep said TOT needed strong partnerships for each of its business lines, particularly its landline service.

TOT may seek partners to operate core services
TOT Plc may seek strategic partners to manage and operate its telecom services.
The state telecom enterprise is trying to stop the loss of fixed-line telephone subscribers and to stimulate broadband internet usage and international call traffic _ and eventually increase overall revenues, says board chairman Panthep Chamrasromran.
"Under the planned partnerships, the partners will operate our telecom services, excluding mobile phones, as virtual network operators," said Mr Panthep, adding that Asian and European telecom companies had expressed interest.

Mr Panthep said TOT needed strong partnerships for each of its business lines, particularly its landline service.
"A partner, local or overseas, might help us improve our sales distribution channels and marketing strategies," he said.
TOT is now working on conditions for the partnership agreements, he said.
Five companies already provide third-generation (3G) wireless broadband services under mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) agreements with TOT.
Mr Panthep said TOT could sign partnership agreements without seeking approval from the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), as the agreements would not involve frequency al
"Personally, I think TOT is in a precarious situation," he said.
TOT is under pressure because the Frequency Allocation Act requires the company to start remitting revenues from concessions and frequency-related services to the NBTC from Dec 20, 2013.
TOT is likely to face revenue shortfalls after transferring its concession revenues to the state. Last year, it earned 19 billion baht in concession revenue from a single source: the mobile market leader Advanced Info Service.
Mr Panthep also said TOT was confident its nationwide 3G service, with 5,320 base stations, would be launched commercially in May as scheduled.
TOT is planning a second-phase 3G expansion using Long Term Evolution technology operating on the 2,300- megahertz frequency. The expansion would utilise an additional 15,000 to 18,000 base stations.
