Thai AIS fails to reach deal with Apple on iPhone

BANGKOK, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Advanced Info Service ADVA.BK, Thailand's largest mobile phone operator, said on Friday it had failed to reach an agreement with Apple Inc (AAPL.O) to bring the 3G iPhone to the Thai market.

"We don't accept Apple's proposal to bring iPhone to the Thai market because we don't think it will be good for us in terms of business," Chief Executive Vikrom Sriprataks told reporters. (Reporting by Pisit Changplayngam; Writing by Khettiya Jittapong; Editing by Alan Raybould)
