Myanmar to License More ISPs, Long Haul Network

Myanmar is planning to invite bids for providing Internet services and building a national fiber optic network, after awarding two new national mobile licenses.

“There are lots of opportunities in Myanmar’s telecom sector. While we have called for tenders for the two telecom licenses, our plan is to invite participation for providing Internet services,” said Thaung Tin, Myanmar deputy minister for communications and information technology.

What is not so clear is how Myanmar might go about licensing ISPs or infrastructure providers.

Myanmar Teleport (formerly Bagan Cybertech), Yatanarpon Teleport, Information Technology Central Services (ITCS), Red Link Communications, and the state-owned Myanmar Post and Telecommunication are the Internet service providers in Myanmar at the moment.
