New market study, "Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar Telecommunications Report Q1 2015", has been published

In fact, international operators such as VimpelCom have endeavoured to exit investments in Laos and Cambodia, while conditions remain volatile.

* Ooredoo and Telenor added over 1mn subscribers in their first month following launch. MPT also added another 1mn as a result of lower prices from the...
