In the context of the Union Government’s policy framework for the overall development of the ICT sector, three new operators will be granted soon a Nationwide Telecommunications License in Myanmar.
These new entrants have planned the roll-out of a significant number of sites to achieve their ambitious geographical coverage targets. In this context, rapid site/ tower roll-out and reduced cost per site will be key for these operators. These three new entrants will be allowed to build their own towers. However, to maximize efficiency and roll-out speed, the operators are likely to (partially) outsource tower operations and share towers.
Given this potential to provide tower management services to the new operators, Myanma Posts and Telecommunications (MPT) has set the objective to rapidly deploy a best-in-class network of towers, optimized for infrastructure sharing.
MPT is therefore considering a tower management partnership with the following objectives:
• Upgrade MPT’s existing sites for infrastructure sharing;
• Boost MPT’s future necessary tower network development;
• Bring the required financing capacity; and
• Provide best-in-class operations and maintenance services to MPT’s entire tower network.
The potential partner can be a specialized tower management company. However, MPT could also consider other types of companied that could support MPT to achieve its objectives.
