History
A company run by two Australian immigrants in Myanmar, Eagle Group, established the first Internet access in Myanmar in 1997..mm Domain Registration https://www.bb-online.com/mobile/mm.shtml#:~:text=mm%20is%20the%20Internet%20country,com.mm%2C%20. bb-online.com BB-Online 28 March 2026 https://web.archive.org/web/20241007020049/https://www.bb-online.com/mobile/mm.shtml 7 October 2024 They contracted with a British company called Digiserve, based in High Wycombe, to provide DNS services for .mm. All .mm DNS queries were handled by Digiserve's two name servers acting as root name servers for .mm, ns1.digiserve.com and ns2.digiserve.com respectively. In 1999, the Burmese government shut down Eagle Group's service.Maung Maung Oo Burma on line going nowhere https://www2.irrawaddy.com/article.php?art_id=3612&Submit=Submit irrawaddy.com The Irrawaddy 28 March 2026 https://web.archive.org/web/20210320063839/https://www2.irrawaddy.com/article.php?art_id=3612&Submit=Submit 20 March 2021
In February 2002, the DigiServe DNS servers were hacked by pro-democracy activists, which resulted in the traffic to all .mm domain names, including www.gov.mm, being redirected to a website demanding the release of famous student leader Min Ko Naing for a period of three days.
At the beginning of 2005, MPT finally retook management control of the .mm name space and replaced Digiserve nameservers with their own.
Businesses in Myanmar could register for domain names within the .net.mm and .com.mm zones through Myanmar Teleport (formerly Bagan Cybertech) or from Myanmar Post & Telecoms directly. .edu.mm, .org.mm, .gov.mm domain names are reserved for official and government use. There is no WHOIS service provided.
Myanmar Teleport's service was later shut down by the Burmese government as well, leaving government-owned Myanmar Post & Telecoms as the sole controller for all the services for internet and email.
