The project entails a network of 5,000 base stations to be installed in Myanmar. Viettel, the Vietnamese military-owned telecommunications operator, will spend $1.5 billion to roll out a 4G network on the 900-MHz and 2100-MHz frequency bands. The project is owned by Myanmar National Tele - a joint venture of Viettel (49%), Myanmar's military-affiliated Star High and 11 domestic communications-related companies, who will take a 51% stake in the joint venture. It was granted a 15-year mobile phone business license in January, becoming Myanmar's fourth telecom company. After completing the initial 5,000 stations, Myanmar National Tele intends to add more to bring the total to 10,000 as early as 2020, extending coverage to more than 90% of the domestic population. https://ijglobal.com/articles/100205/viettel-to-invest-15-billion-in-myanmar-mobile https://ijglobal.com/articles/104290/viettel-signs-on-myanmar-mobile-license http://international.viettel.vn/news-detail/viettel-to-officially-invest-in-myanmar-after-receiving-investment-licence https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/New-Myanmar-telecom-plans-5-000-base-stations-by-2018-debut http://www.president-office.gov.mm/en/?q=briefing-room/news/2017/08/27/id-7701
