Telenor Myanmar to invest less than $2 billion to build telecom network

Telenor will invest less than $2 billion in building its telecoms operation in Myanmar.

“It is going to be less than what we invested in total in Pakistan. Some (analysts) have used Pakistan as a benchmark and implied that it could be as much as what we invested in Pakistan, but it will not be,” Telenor Myanmar CEO Jon Fredrik Baksaas told Reuters.
