Ooredoo Myanmar faces significant business environment challenges ahead. The company's operations are hindered by a lack of infrastructure, with only 2% of the population having access to 3G services.
Ooredoo Myanmar has been working to improve the situation, but it's a complex task. The country's population is dispersed across a vast area, making it difficult to provide reliable and widespread coverage.
One major challenge is the high cost of providing services in rural areas, where the population is scattered and infrastructure is limited. The cost of deploying and maintaining network infrastructure is a significant barrier to entry.
Ooredoo Myanmar is also facing competition from other telecom operators, including Telenor Myanmar, which has been operating in the country since 2014.
