 Myanmar (Burma) - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
Myanmar's telecommunications sector is dominated by the state-owned monopoly service provider, Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications (MPT). The country is battling grave economic problems and a continuing troubled political climate. Soaring inflation continues to be a major problem. Reaching a rate of 60% in 2002, inflation had settled back to about 26% in 2006, but surged again in 2007 to almost hit 40%. The telecom sector is indicative of the overall state of the nation's economy. Fixed telephone line penetration is only 1%, mobile services are prohibitively expensive and Internet access is restricted. This report gives an overview of the sector. Reliable statistics continue to be difficult to obtain for Myanmar, the latest official data being neither up to date nor consistent.
