OSLO, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Telenor’s network in Myanmar is up and running and the telecoms operator’s customers are getting service, Chief Executive Sigve Brekke said on Tuesday.
Myanmar’s military seized power on Monday in a coup against the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi, who was detained along with other political leaders in early morning raids.
Phone and internet connections in the capital, Naypyitaw, and the main commercial centre Yangon were disrupted during that time.
“The network is up and running .... and we are serving our customers, we think this is very important also in this critical time,” Telenor CEO Sigve Brekke told an earnings presentation.
The Norwegian firm entered Myanmar when the country’s telecoms market was opened to foreign providers in 2014, quickly building up a profitable service.
“We have been a part of the democratisation process,” Brekke said, while adding that his primary concern now is to ensure the safety of employees. (Reporting by Victoria Klesty and Terje Solsvik; editing by Gwladys Fouche and Jason Neely)
