MyTel, the fourth licensed operator in Myanmar, has announced plans to extend its 4G-only network in Myanmar in 2018. The operator secured the licence in January 2017. MyTel will share its infrastructure with MecTel. The company has also signed an agreement with the Ministry of Education to invest $80 million in Myanmar over a period of 15 years. MyTel is a JV between Vietnamese group Viettel and Myanmar National Tele & Communications. Viettel is providing 49 per cent of the investment for the network, with MyTel aiming to invest almost $1.5 billion to roll out 7,200 base stations.
