Myanmar is planning to carry out reform in information and communication
technology (ICT) starting first in Yangon region, official media reported
Sunday.
IT experts have been invited by
the Ministry of Communication, Post and Telegraph U Thein Tun to give advice
for the reform move, said the New Light of Myanmar.
U Thein Tun told a workshop on
ICT development Saturday that Myanmar is lagging behind in the ICT development
compared with neighboring countries and called for hard work in the sector to
catch up with other member nations of the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN).
Regarding Myanmar's international
communication, SEA-ME-WE-3 South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 3 system
linking 34 countries, underwater cable system and satellite communication
system and cross-border transmission link system have been built.
Plans are also underway to be able
to link with SEA-ME-WE-4, Asia, Europe under water cable. It will be linked to
SEA-ME-WE-4 via Bangladesh. After completion of the project, it can communicate
with other countries included in SEA-ME-WE-4 cyber link via fiber cable.
With extended communication links
with China, India, Thailand and Vietnam, the ICT sector is expected to develop
rapidly.
Through these infrastructure,
Myanmar people are using fax by phone and IP services with ADSL, WiFi, WiMAX
wireless broadband systems.
The newly-established Yatanarpon
web portal and triple play soft switch in Pyin Oo Lwin in October 2010 also
fulfill the requirements for speedy development IP services.
Moreover, the Fiber-to-the-Home
(FTTH) Service, one of the high standard communication technologies, was
launched in Yangon and Mandalay in December 2010.
