Myanmar Title: Connecting rural Myanmar Proposer: Mr. Htun Aung, Chief Engineer, Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications, Post and Telegraphs Country: Myanmar Date: March 2005 I. INTRODUCTION As a signatory of the e-ASEAN Framework Agreement, Myanmar is set on establishing connectivity and compatibility with the ASEAN Information Infrastructure. As part of the Agreement, an e-Application Committee under e-National Task Force has deemed the development of egovernment a priority. Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications (MPT), the sole provider of telecommunication services in Myanmar, has been striving to fulfill the Universal Service Obligations (USO). In recent years, the Internet has become a necessity because it enables instant access to information, efficient transactions, saves time, and reduces costs. However, lack of access to the Internet is causing a digital divide among nations, as well as within the people of a nation. Therefore, MPT is considering the provision of data services. In urban areas, Internet access has been provided with only a slight modification of existing digital equipment, but it is much more difficult to expand Internet access into rural areas. People living in rural areas cannot afford high connection fees and tariff rates, thus providing an Internet connection will be costly. II. ISSUES The majority of long distance facilities in Myanmar are microwave radio systems. The systems are well suited to the difficult terrain conditions, and serve to connect cities and towns, However, bandwidth is limited, and spur routes into rural areas are not efficient. Recent decreases in the price of fiber optic cable and system have helped to address the backbone bandwidth requirements. Advancements in mobile and wireless local loop (WLL) technology, and decreases in the price of wireless networking devices have resulted in the installation of a WAN, and efficient data services. III. THE PROPOSED PROJECT A. Objective and scope Myanmar has recognized the potential of e-government to improve efficiency and transparency in the public sector, and launched a plan to expand e-government into rural areas.
