Ooredoo will focus on adding more pay-as-you-go subscribers in Myanmar a few weeks after it launched operations, the unit’s CEO said, but may provide monthly mobile contracts and fixed services in the long term.

Ooredoo and Norway’s Telenor Group last year won telecom licences in the southeast Asian country, whose mobile penetration is about 10 percent, among the lowest globally.

Ooredoo has sold more than one million pre-paid SIM cards following its August 2 launch. Ross Cormack, Ooredoo Myanmar chief executive, said his firm had not decided whether to expand into post-paid contracts.

Subscribers on such contracts usually spend more on telecoms services and are also less likely to switch provider.

“We have the functionality to deliver it, but at the moment we’ve huge demand for exactly what we’re offering in pre-paid,” Cormack said in a telephone interview.
