The Myanmar government does learn from what happens in this world, it did acquire the technology to frustrate the use of the Internet in Myanmar and from Myanmar to the world.
The lack of development for the Myanmar language does not hurt only people in Myanmar, the language is spoken outside Myanmar and the Myanmar script is used for other languages. The argument that it is because of a boycott of the country of Myanmar is misplaced. Not only does it prevent people from taking part of the Internet, it also prevents them from using the Internet to the fullest.

I think it's very bad to know that Myanmar government is not taking proper action .The lack of development is frustrating peoples to invest in business.A detail study and proper action's should be taken for overcoming this problem.
The government of Myanmar does have policies in place that stimulate the standards based Internet. The problem is very much one where the economic boycott it is suffering from makes things overly complicated.
The lack of language support for the Myanmar script and language is a sad consequence of the boycott.
Thanks,

Gerard,
Got to your blog via Planet Wikimedia. It is interesting to hear someone say that it is because of the boycott that the language support is poor in Myanmar. There's certainly plenty of brilliant programmers and Internet users.
I think we (the Myanmar people) need a bit more of the critical computer literacy skills before we can really support the language as programmers and as netizens. Of course having an intermittent connection that is blocked at times because of "underwater cable faults" doesn't help either. You have to understand, too, that just like India, Myanmar has many many different languages -- and I've only seen Burmese on computers.
In November, Myanmar held elections, So I thought Myanmar was becoming a democracy. But I feeled very horrible after hearing government policies and restriction in Myanmar.
I have read your content. I really upset because Myanmar government is not taking proper action please everybody request you proper action's should be taken for overcoming this problem.
