Out of the 2 licenses available, Singtel + Al Noor will bid for one, while Yoma + Digicel Group + Quantum is another.

A heavy-weight versus featherweight? Big Grin

----
SINGAPORE--Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. (Z74.SG) is partnering the Al Noor Group to distribute satellite-based technology and services in Myanmar, the Singapore government said Thursday.

Under the pact, Singapore-based Al Noor--one of the largest importers of mobile phones in Myanmar--will help SingTel sell satellite phones, broadband internet and broadcasting services in Myanmar, the city-state's trade-promotion agency, International Enterprise Singapore, said in a statement.

SingTel and Al Noor officials signed the deal this week in Yangon, during a visit as part of a Singapore government-led business delegation.

SingTel, Southeast Asia's largest telecommunications firm by revenue, is currently vying for a telecommunications license in Myanmar, which began a process this year to issue two permits as part of efforts to liberalize the tightly controlled sector.

Who is the heavy weight? There are other obese parties interested as well: China Mobile + Vodafone, Telenor etc.

Seems like the market is positive that Singtel will get the license to operate in Myanmar...maybe our dear President TT recent visit to Myanmar helps Smile

If SingTel gets this license to operate in Myanmar, it will be a positive fundamental upgrade for SingTel intrinsic value and push its stock price upwards.

SingTel consortium shortlisted for Myanmar telecom licence tender

YANGON — Myanmar has shortlisted 12 international consortia, including one led by Singapore Telecommunications, for the final stage in its telecommunications licence tender.

The shortlisted applicants can now formally bid for the two licences, each with initial terms of 15 years. Bids must be submitted by June 3, and the winners will be announced by June 27.

Shortlisted applicants include a consortium comprising China Mobile and Vodafone Group. India’s Bharti Airtel, MTN Dubai, Jamaica’s Digicel Group, Japan’s KDDI Corp and Sumitomo Corp, Malaysia’s Axiata Group, Norway’s Telenor, Millicom International Cellular, Qatar Telecom and Vietnam’s Viettel Group also made the list.

The bidding has attracted wide interest from international telecoms firms, which see huge opportunities in a country of 60 million where mobile penetration is just 5 to 10 per cent.

Significant advantage for both parties - Suretek gets a deal that he knows there will be no inflation on the services required. SingTel gets to enjoy a clear 5 years revenue that is part of its core business.
