Final Report Chapter 5 Mid-Term Development Plan Also, in order to proceed improvement in communication facilities, there is another important subject, security. There are a number of news, such as malicious attacks or stealing of some information are reported in TV or news papers, every days. In general, weakness in security may affect to the communication services greatly. On the other hand, keeping the security require a tremendous costs and how far to be considered may be “subject” to be discussed continuously. Therefore, it is necessary to organize a group of such specialists and to prepare the security policy, and it is necessary to make the studies in technical phases, managing phases, and human resources. 5.4 Training of Human Resources and Improvement in Business Management 5.4.1 Environment around MPT and Business Management As mentioned before, for MPT, the technical stuff have been proficient for operation of existing facilities and maintenance and control of them, and no special and technical problem is found. However, the facilities and materials to be procured from now on, it may be assumed that the facilities and materials to be procured from now on, are presumed that they are presumed that those facilities and materials to be procured require a high level of technique to handle them in its installing, testing, controlling and operating. In order to operate, maintain, and control these communication facilities, it is important to reinforce the control system. It is important to strengthening the maintenance and controlling system against these communication facilities including the existing facilities and the overall management system so that the communication facilities to be provided should continue to be implemented keeping an appropriate quality of facilities provided. 5.4.2 Reduction in Cost Pursuing normal management, reduction of cost should occupy a large portion. While MPT is improving and prepare a number of communication networks positively, not to be neglected are operation, maintenance and control of the communication facilities. The operation, maintenance and controlling of the communication facilities are a kind of routine tasks to be performed, every days, therefore the effect by reducing their costs may be great. One of the elements to realize the cost reduction is grouping of each element. MPT has a program to group the watching and controlling tasks. Also, grouping human resources in operation, maintenance and controlling the communication facilities may produce not only the efficient use of the human resources, but also realize the improvement in efficiency for training of the human resources. 5.4.3 Human Resources and Training required for Improvement and Expansion of Communication Networks Government of Myanmar has established the target for communication services, to be 75~80% approximately, by the year 2016, and the introduction of IP Networks and Number fourth generation in mobile phone started already. In other words, number of staff in MPT is expected to increase according to the increase of the subscribers. 5-32
