[cellular-news] Myanmar is planning to add some 400,000 additional lines to its GSM and CDMA networks this year, reported the local Eleven publication, citing the state-run Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications (MPT).
The secretive country is estimated to have around 500,000 GSM subscribers along with 700,000 CDMA users.
At present, GSM mobile phones can be used in 80 towns in the country. The CDMA network is understood to have been recently upgraded to cover the entire of Yangon and Mandalay after initially covering just the main business and government facilities. Mobile phone ownership in Myanmar is heavily restricted and usually only available to the government/military or well connected businessmen.
A WCDMA network was launched last year, with very limited availability.
