Myanmar's fourth operator MyTel has launched 4G services, and plans to expand its network to all 15 states and regions of the nation next month.

The operator started selling SIM cards in Nay Pyi Taw, eastern Bago and Kayin State earlier this month, the Myanmar Times reported.

MyTel plans to differentiate by focusing its rollout more in regional areas and provinces away from large cities. The company has previously indicated plans to cover around 90% of the population with 4G-only services by the end of 1H18.

The operator has set its base rates at 10 kyat ($0.0075) per minute for in-network calls and 23 kyat per minute for out of network calls, and 10 kyat per SMS.

As a promotion, MyTel has also introduced a new plan offering 750MB of data and a 100 minute welcome bonus, as well as 50% top-up bonuses per recharge.

MyTelcompleted its first call over its network last month during a ceremony in Nay Pyi Taw.

MyTel is 49% owned by Vietnamese state-owned operator Viettel and 51% owned by a consortium of 11 local ICT companies. The joint venture was established to secure Myanmar's fourth and last telecoms license.
