Myanmar is now becoming one of the world's most sought-after countries following the opening up of the country and the easing of sanctions. The IMF and ADB have projected Myanmar's real growth for 2012 to 2013 as 6 per cent.
According to plans by the government, MPT will be abolished and reformed as Myanmar Telecom, which will operate without funding from the government. Yatanarpon Teleport will be merged into a new company named Yatanarpon Telecom.
Two other private operators, which could be foreign firms, would join in to offer mobile connections, landline telephones, a public switchboard telephone network, information technology and internet services.
A telecom corporation will be set up by the end of the year and then the MPT will call for international tenders and the winning operators should be ready for running by 2013.
Targeting to upgrade user density from 75 percent to 80 per cent by 2016, a process will start in 2013 to raise the number of users to 39.5 million by 2016, the report said.
According to the MPT statistics, only three million people in Myanmar have their own landline or mobile, a density of 5.6 percent.
The new Telecom Law which is to govern the privatisation of telecommunications now being deliberated in Parliament, is expected to be enacted soon.
