Ooredoo announces that it has officially accepted a telecommunications licence to operate in Myanmar. At launch it is expected that the company's services will be available in a majority of the major cities, expanding rapidly to include rural areas and more remote communities. Since its successful bid for a licence Ooredoo has been establishing itself and laying the foundation for its business to become an integral part of the Myanmar community.

In Myanmar, as in operations across its international network, Ooredoo will offer a wide range of mobile communications services to enrich people's lives that go beyond voice and data to include mobile money services, mobile health, services to support farmers and agriculture and targeted initiatives for women and young people.
