The Ministry of Transport and Communications - MOTC is undertaking a phased approach to achieve its stated targets for the telecommunications sector. On October 8, 2013, the President of the Myanmar signed the Telecommunications Law, which repealed the Myanmar Telegraph Act, 1885, and the Myanmar Wireless Telegraph Act, 1934. Well planned implementation of Governmental decisions is leading to a change in Myanmar’s telecommunications market structure.
