LETTER DATED 14 JULY 2021 FROM THE PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF MYANMAR TO THE UNITED NATIONS ADDRESSED TO THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
Norwegian Telecoms operator Telenor left Myanmar
On July 8, Norwegian Telecoms operator Telenor announced the sale of its
mobile operation in Myanmar to a Lebanese company for $105 million. (...) After the
military cut off internet access, telecoms were forced to reduce their service. Telenor ’s
exit signals the challenging operational climate currently prevailing in the country.

However, the official order did not establish a date for the shutdown to end.
Telenor, which is the telecommunications provider, stated that it “has been asking for further
clarification on the rationale for the shut down and emphasized that freedom of expression
through access to telecoms services should be maintained for humanitarian purposes,
especially during times of conflict.” (...) We finally highlight that in July 2016, the United Nations Human Rights Council
condemned, by its resolution A/HRC/32/L.20, measures that intentionally prevent or disrupt
access to or dissemination of information online, in violation of international human rights
law, and asserted that all countries should refrain from and cease such measures.

Intel H.26L Simulation Results for Telenor Proposal
Purpose:
Information
_____________________________
Introduction
In document Q15-F-11 (Seoul) Gisle Bjøntegaard presented the first version of the H.26L proposal from Telenor Satellite Services. (...) In the figures below, the captions’ meanings are:
“Intel” = Intel’s implementation of Telenor’s H.26L proposal as presented in Monterey (Q15G25)
“Telenor” = Telenor’s results as reported in Q15G25.XLS
“Anchor” = Anchor performance as reported in Q15G25.XLS
Conclusions
As can be seen from the results, the compression performance that we achieved is very close to the performance reported by Telenor. (...) Our opinion is that Telenor’s proposal is a good candidate as a starting point for the Test Model in the H.26L work.

Country
Background - Norway
Norway is a long country with large area Hash climate (cold winters with lots of snow) High mountains Fjords – deep and narrow -> high building cost Small population –> few per switch Scattered population –> long access lines
Telecommunications should be costly in Norway
Background – Telecommunications market
Liberalized gradually through the 90’ – Fully opened and liberalized since 1998 Fixed networks (97-98% penetration):
– Telenor has a fixed network covering the whole country – Several other fixed network providers
Two nationwide mobile networks (>100% penetration) All households have access to the network
– Many have both fixed and mobile access – Many have ISDN and/or broadband access
Comparable low prices
Background – Norway and the EU
European Economic Area agreement (EEA) Norway has implemented the EU telecommunications framework including the US directive
Universal Services Before 1998
Monopoly and state owned company Queue to get a phone up to the late 80’ USO (telephony etc) and SSO Gradual liberalization – fully opened by 1998
Universal Services From 1998
Definition – Split between USO and SSO – Minimum set of services to all end users at an affordable price
Scope – Telephony – Directory enquiry and directories – Public pay telephones – Disabled users
Mechanism – Financing of US / compensation – Telenor has not requested compensation (Provide US if not a fund) – Price regulation / price cap introduced by 1998 – Normal delivery area, duty to contract and non-discrimination
Fixed network, but fixed mobile solutions in some places
3
Universal Services in EU/Europe
Minimum set of services of specified quality to which all end-users have access at an affordable price in the light of specific national conditions. (...) Achievements (Norway)
Fully liberalized and a competitive market – Real choice for end-users from various providers and services
All households have a telephony service – Choice from various providers (telecom, cable-TV and electricity companies) – Many end-users have ISDN or broadband access
Two country wide mobile networks and several providers – Pre-paid and low cost of entry to telecommunication services – Many have only a mobile phone
Competing directory services Tailored services for disabled users Comparable low prices (see for example OECD statistics)
“US is not an issue in Norway today”
Learning lesson
Available services throughout effective competition (USO is only relevant when the needs of end-users are not met by the market)
Operators and providers are motivated to provide services to everybody when the regulatory environment is right No technology or provider should be predetermined
– Wireless technologies can be cost efficient and give fast roll-out – Speed of wireless solutions is fast improving
Low cost of entry – Mass production of terminals and equipment – Production of low cost terminals – High penetration – Pre-paid mobile (low entry and cost control)
Communication centre and village phones – Example: GrameenPhone in Bangladesh

About Telenor Group in Asia
//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Flag_of_Myanmar.svg
Digitization is the world’s most inevitable trend; fueled
by access to broadband and smartphones
Billions will gain access to affordable
broadband, allowing them to go online.
46% of the globe is doing so via mobile,
growing to 60% by 2020.
(...) Data Protection
Cross border data is subject to increasingly complex and stringent regulation.
• Data localization requirements
• Cross border data flow limitations
• Remote access requirements
• Filtering or blocking data, services and apps
Customers seek personalized services – with maintained
levels of transparency and control
7
Almost 8 out of 10 Asian customers want apps to be tailored to their preferences and
needs; 7 out of 10 are willing to share personal data for tailoring
All numbers are based on Telenor Group survey conducted among experienced internet users in Pakistan, India, Thailand & Malaysia
* Simple privacy policy & information on data sources used ** Access and edit data & restrict use of data
9 out of 10 Asian
customers say that
transparency* and
control** are important
features for their
willingness to share personal data
Fundamentalists
8% Unconcerned
3%
Pragmatists
89%
Most people are
'Privacy Pragmatists'
- being privacy concerned,
but still willing to share
personal
data in exchange for personalization
Unchecked regulation could potentially lead to…
8
Reduced
market access
Ultimately impacting consumers.
(...) However:
• Governments should only impose measures that restrict cross-
border data flows if they are absolutely necessary to achieve a
legitimate public policy objective
• The application of these measures should be proportionate and not
be arbitrary or discriminatory against foreign suppliers or services
12
Telenor believes that the free flow of data is…
Beneficial to both traditional and digital industries
A key catalyst for innovation
Essential for economic growth
Dependent on regulators creating a precise balance
of laws that offer robust consumer and business data
protection, but are not unnecessarily restrictive,
complex and vague
13
Together, industry stakeholders can ensure that the digital and mobile
technologies founded on the free flow of data will continue to drive
innovation, economic growth, and social development in Asia and
across the globe.
