IT experts have been invited by the Ministry of Communication, Post and Telegraph U Thein Tun to give advice for the reform move, said the New Light of Myanmar.
U Thein Tun told a workshop on ICT development Saturday that Myanmar is lagging behind in the ICT development compared with neighboring countries and called for hard work in the sector to catch up with other member nations of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
The 2011-15 ICT master plan, jointly drawn up by experts of Myanmar and S. Korea, covers five main areas -- ICT infrastructure, ICT industry, ICT human resources development, e-education and ICT legal frame work, said the Flower News.
Despite not much major cyber crime occurring in the country, the police force formed the IT unit in preparation for fight against such probability, the official said, calling on people, especially commercially-operating cyber cafes, to cooperate with the police to expose such crime by systematically registering internet users' contents without simple ignorance.
These ministries are those of commerce, agriculture and irrigation, labor, home affairs, culture, transport, industry, electric power and communications, posts and telegraphs, reports Xinhua news agency.
