Workers chat as they sit in a public call office phone shop at the Post and Telecommunications division head office in Yangon

Workers chat as they sit in a public call office (PCO) phone shop at the Post and Telecommunications division head office in Yangon August 10, 2012. Blackberrys and iPhones aren't much use in Myanmar, where its only network is frequently jammed, data services are scarce, prices extortionate, lines crackly and most phones don't roam. For decades, its telecoms industry has been a shambles. But as Myanmar races ahead with economic reforms, the telecoms sector, riven with graft and mismanagement and lagging behind even Asia's poorest countries, is on the verge of a major shake-up as part of a "reform plan" to liberalise one of the world's last remaining greenfield telcos markets.
