Nationwide Telecommunications Project

The Project consists of a nationwide telecommunications infrastructure roll-out that will provide a full range of fixed, mobile and data services in Myanmar (i.e. universal license). The Government has awarded one of two 15+10 year operating and associated spectrum license on a build, own and operate basis through an international, transparent, and competitive bidding process to Ooredoo, the Sponsor. Myanmar suffers from the lowest coverage rates among ADB's developing member countries with less than 10% of the population having connectivity. The Project will increase the geographic coverage to over 80% within 5 years and make telecommunication services available to the public at affordable prices in both rural and urban areas.
