Myanmar will put on the market much-awaited 1500K (about US$2) SIM Cards through administrator's offices in townships across the country so the public can make drawing, according to sources.
Yangon Region Government has ordered the
offices to do so and they will sell their monthly share of cards using
the drawing system.
People interested in buying a card will
need to show their identity cards and household document before being
put on the drawing lists, officials say.
"Township administrator's office has
informed our ward administrator's office to sell the cards through that
system. So we have already notified the people living in our ward to
register at the office for the cards. We will sell CDMA-800 SIM cards at
the office," said an official from Sanchaung Township's Northern Ward
Administrator Office.
Some wards in Yangon also notified that [government] staff living in the wards will not be included in the scheme.
Myanmar government has already announced
that it will grant 350,000 cards monthly to regions and states across
the country starting from April 24. A rough calculation showed that each
township will only be able to sell about 25 cards daily according to
the supply.
Users will likely to pay 10,000 kyats (about US$11) for internet access as an additional charge.
