YANGON, April 15 (The Straits Times/ANN): The new owner of telecommunications operator Telenor Myanmar has pledged to maintain the same data privacy policy as its predecessor, amid concerns that it would turn over sensitive subscriber information to Myanmar's military regime.

"We would like to stress that Investcom Pte Ltd will follow the same principles as Telenor Myanmar in terms of lawful intercept equipment activation and/or requests," said the Investcom Holding press office in an e-mailed response to queries from The Straits Times on Thursday (April 14).
