Two British men living in Rangoon and working for Bagan Cybertech are allegedly providing the company with the technical know-how for more effective internet filtering and censorship.
Sources told Mizzima the men, Paul Crilley and Karl Sumptor are also consulting with Bagan Cybertech on the best methods to monitor emails.
Crilley and Sumptor refused to tell Mizzima the nature of their work for Bagan Cybertech over the telephone today, with both men hanging up mid-conversation.
"I do not want to talk to you today," Crilley said.
A report claiming internet censorship in Burma was getting worse was released by the OpenNet Institute yesterday. The report said Bagan Cybertech had purchased Fortiguard, an internet filtering program produced by US company Fortinet.
While Fortinet denied the claim, an article published in the New Light of Myanmar in May last year, clearly shows members of the Myanmar Millennium Group Co. Ltd. (MMG) accepting the Fortinet product at a ceremony in Rangoon.
Mizzima has received reports that a technician from MMG said the company, headed by Min Zeyar Hlaing, the son in law of Lt Gen Khin Maung Than, was an official Fortinet reseller in Sunnyvale, California.
