"Draft Telecommunications Masterplan", 8 July 2015

The Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar commenced a significant program of telecommunications sector reform in 2013 to an industry which had one of the lowest teledensity rates in the world. The reforms have resulted in the first steps to establish a competitive market for telecommunications services...This growth is shaping not only a lofty ambition for telecommunications, but an urgent need for reform without which the current momentum may be interrupted...The Masterplan sets out a broad vision of Myanmar to become a mobile-first, digitally connected nation, realized through three enabling objectives: 1. Create a Myanmar national broadband infrastructure asset – through initiatives to Connect Myanmar to broadband services, to encourage Affordability and Quality, and to safeguard security; 2. Deliver communications content and services for the Myanmar people – to foster a mobile-first orientation in the delivery of many goods and services in the economy, to encourage truly local innovation, to understand and protect consumer rights and drive customer value; 3. Create an enabling institutional framework – envisioning a dynamic Ministry setting policy, an empowered and independent Regulator, accountable and autonomous service providers, and most important of all, enriched and satisfied customers who benefit from a wide choice of high quality, competitive and affordable services.
