Telenor, Ooredoo and the revolution of Myanmar’s telecoms sector


Recommended Posts

Two-decade long monopoly of the Myanmar Post and Telecommunications (MPT) in Myanmar’s telecoms sector has come to an end when Ooredoo Myanmar launched selling its mobile SIM cards at the end of July.

This can be the beginning of a market where consumers have choice and industry players compete with better services. Myanmar people have been awaiting it so long. They had no other choice than the MPT for a long time. Now, they have got another choice and Telenor Myanmar is also coming soon.
 
In fact, Myanmar people had bitter past experiences with the MPT’s services. Having no other choice, they had to pay very high service fees.
 
The MPT introduced CDMA 800MHz mobile SIM cards in 2000. Those mobile numbers started with 0980. Each SIM card cost ranging from Ks 2.5 million (US$2,500) to Ks 5 million ($5,000).
