In 2013, it enacted a new Telecommunications Act that provided for: the expansion of the telecommunications network and the sector's development, the establishment of types of licenses and basic rules on interconnection, competition and dispute resolution, the creation of an independent regulator (the Myanmar Telecommunications Commission), and the establishment of the overall government policy on private sector participation in the sector (OECD-WTO aid-for-trade monitoring exercise 2017, Public sector case story 113). Liberalisation facilitated the entry of two competing mobile operators— Ooredoo and Telenor—entered the market in 2014.
