A telecommunications joint-venture between Vietnam’s military-run Viettel Group and a Myanmar consortium expects to roll out its 4G services in Myanmar within the next few weeks, the Vietnamese government has said. The MyTel network, developed by Viettel, Myanmar National Holding Public Ltd and Star High Public Co Ltd, is aiming for between two and three million subscribers before the end of the year, according to a statement. MyTel will become the fourth telco operator in Myanmar, behind state-backed MPT, and Ooredoo and Telenor, which joined the market in 2014 and broke up MPT’s monopoly. “With a newly opened and fast-growing economy, Myanmar offers great opportunities for telecommunications companies,” Le Dang Dung, deputy director general of Viettel, said in a statement. As well as across Asia, Viettel also has operations in almost a dozen markets in Africa and America.
