NTT Com is now providing internet connections to enterprises globally as well as in seven Southeast Asian countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as Myanmar.

Myanmar has been strengthening its presence in the Mekong regional economy since beginning its transition from military to democratic rule in March 2011. An increasing number of multinational enterprises are entering the market and creating demand for reliable high-quality internet connection services. NTT Communications Yangon was opened in October 2012 to provide ICT solutions that combine global networks, system integration and security throughout Myanmar. The internet connection service, which is now available nationwide, previously had been restricted to tenants in Yangon's Sakura Tower, a high-rise office building serving multinational companies.
