“Laos - Telecoms Market Overview Statistics & Forecasts”

Laos is working hard to find its feet economically. While recognising the importance of building its national infrastructure, including telecommunications, Laos has needed to establish some economic equilibrium first. Despite setting up a telecom joint venture company with Thai company, Shinawatra, in 1996 in a move designed to kick start its telephone network, fixed-line penetration still sits below 2%. The good news is the mobile market has really taken off. This happened after the telecom sector was opened up to competition. There is still a need for regulatory reform, with the current arrangements presenting haphazard direction. This report describes the Lao telecom market and includes a statistical overview of the sector together with scenario forecasts.
