Norway's Telenor quits Myanmar over military coup


OSLO, July 8 (AFP): Norwegian telecoms group Telenor said Thursday (July 9) it is selling its subsidiary in Myanmar, where it is one of the major operators, as a result of the military coup there.

While the agreement to sell Telenor Myanmar to M1 Group for US$105 million will ensure continued operations of its fixed and wireless networks, analysts expressed concern it might not bode well for freedom to use social networks.
