 Laos - A View of the Television Market
The small developing nation of Laos continues to work to strengthen its economy. Its communist government maintains a strong overall grip on the country. Its media, in particular - both electronic and print - is closely controlled. Not surprisingly, television offers some especially serious challenges for the country. The government espouses a strong commitment to the protection of Lao culture and to national security. It is these aims, however, that provide the rationale for tight control of the media, including television. At the same time, the government has been allowing the television industry to grow somewhat haphazardly. This report presents an overview of the Lao television market.

Laos - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
Laos is working hard to find its feet economically. Whilst recognising the importance of building its national infrastructure, including telecommunications, it has needed to establish some economic equilibrium first. Despite setting up a telecom joint venture company with Thai company, Shinawatra, in 1996 in a move designed to kick start its telephone network, fixed-line penetration sits below 3%. The good news is that the mobile market has really taken off. This happened after it was opened up to competition. There is still a need for serious regulatory reform, with the current arrangements presenting haphazard direction. This report describes the Lao telecom market and includes a statistical overview of the sector.
