Final Report
Chapter 5 Mid-Term Development Plan
axes of the business management, to cover the communication infrastructure, communication
services and personal training, thereby enhancing the efficiency is urgent and important subjects.
The internet services will be developed entirely in Myanmar, according to expansion of the
core networks as mentioned in 5.2.3 and the access networks as mentioned in 5.2.5 to be provided
entirely in Myanmar. Therefore the development of the internet services should proceed in similar
way of the access networks.
However, it may be needed to have some specific program for the internet services.

Access Circuit for Internet Services
As the access circuit for Internet Services, though optical fiber is in use partly, the ADSL are
in use widely as the main system. From now on, use of the optical fiber cable system will proceed.
The use of LTE/LTE Advanced will proceed. The time-wise program of them are as mentioned as
in (1). On the other hand, where the fiber optic cables are utilized widely, reuse of the ADSL and
widely use of the ADSL should be considered.

Improvement of Service Quality
Demand for the internet・services start to increase here, and it may become an obstacle in
maintaining the service quality to an appropriate level. Keeping the internet service level at an
appropriate level is an urgent subject. The first step for maintaining service quality is to provide a
sufficient transmission capacity. Against this urgent subject, the Project for Urgent Improvement of
Communication Networks in Myanmar under Japan Grant Aid is applied, and intended to expand
the economy in Myanmar and thereby improve the living levels of Myanmar nationals. Figures
5.3-1 through Figure 5.3-3, the compositions of the Metro Networks are illustrated through the
Project for Urgent Improvement of Communication Network.
On the other hand, even when the actual demand of the internet services may be overcome
through the Project for Urgent Improvement of Communication Networks in Myanmar under Japan
Grant Aid, however, it may not be so effective for the ever increasing demand for Internet.
Therefore, the IPv6 should be introduced as the first step, to expand the service capability, to
improve the quality. Also, in the three large cities including Yangon, we have to expand the
capacity of the metro-networks and improving the router’s capability, thereby to expand the
capacity of the internet services and to improve the quality of internet.
