  • Mobile phone penetration is at present below 10% i.e. much lower than in many other developing economies
  • Myanmar hopes to increase mobile penetration to 80% in 3 years
  • 2 licenses will be tendered to authorize the holders to Build, Own and Operate a mobile network on a country-wide basis for a term of 15 years.
