MCIT pushes back deadline for fourth mobile licence application

Myanmar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) has pushed back the deadline for Expressions of Interest (EoI) in the country’s fourth mobile licence to 8 January 2016 from its previous deadline of 18 December 2015. No reason for the delay was given. As previously noted by TeleGeography’s CommsUpdate, the successful applicant will be handed a 15-year licence and form a joint venture with a consortium of eleven local companies, including ISP Yatanarpon Teleport (YTP).
