Telenor was in a tough spot. They didn’t expect a miracle. But they did want to see Telenor attempt to do right by Myanmar’s netizens. The decision to sell to M1 Group, the lack of due diligence and disclosure, none of it has indicated real concern for the risks to people.” In July 2021, the Center for Research on Multinational Corporations made a joint complaint with 474 Myanmar-based civil society organizations regarding Telenor's exit which was officially accepted by the Norwegian National Contact Point. If found in breach, Telenor runs the risk of “losing various forms of state support such as export credit insurance, innovation subsidies, public procurement contracts and international trade support”. The Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) has many suggestions for Telenor to set it right, such as finding a more responsible buyer, donating any proceeds of the sale to the CDM, protecting its employees and establishing a fund to assist former customers who may be targeted by the regime using Telenor’s user data. The screw is tightening in Norway as well as in Myanmar for Telenor. On October 19th, 2021, Aung Naing Oo, the military’s investment minister, said that the company's foreign executives had been "requested" not to leave the country. This would be pending regulatory approval of the company’s deal to sell its operations there because he wanted “to have discussions physically with some of the Telenor management.” Six months after the company's botched exit attempt, the price of a Telenor SIM card alone has more than doubled as it is unclear if the company will continue to supply stalls with new stocks. On January 6th, 2022, the junta levied an additional compulsory 20,000 MMMK (11.50 USD) activation fee on all SIM cards. People now have to spend 21,500 MMK to buy and activate a SIM card compared to 1,500 MMK (0.85 USD) in an official shop and 300 MMK (0.17 USD) on the black market before the coup, without the benefit of any user data protection policy regardless of the operator. 16
