Talk:Mass media in Myanmar/Archive 1

Not a report
This is an encyclopedia article, not a report for Human Rights Watch. Elaborate more, than just saying the junta is bad or opposition sources are great. This may be the truth, but this is not the place to say so. Wikipedia is for information, not to campaign. People have the right to access a neutral and balanced article which provides the full picture, not be shown what one wants them to see. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.132.250.8 (talk) 00:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Situation in May 2015
The media section does not reflect the current situation in Burma/Myanmar from what I can see. I am currently in Rangoon/Yangon. Firstly, Internet access looks pretty widespread now. Smartphones are widespread like anywhere else. One of the networks has 4G service with others in 3G. Fixed service is available through DSL, WiMax and fibre. Speeds are not great, but are usable. Nothing is blocked that I have found, with BBC OK. I even stumbled on an opposition web site.

For television, any one can get a satellite dish, which will receive international channels as well as the local ones.

Radio stations play a variety of music. I have heard many foreign songs from the UK/US. There are also local language versions and local music too. There are 9 FM stations receivable in Yangon. Most have squeezed into the 87.7-90.0 frequency range to be compatible with Japanese car radios, which are in many imported cars. Davidbstanley (talk) 09:46, 20 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Feel free to update the article. We need reliable secondary sources that we can cite before we can update this. It would also be OK to flag the section as out-of-date and needing an update. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 12:48, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
