This annual publication profiles the vibrant telecom market in Vietnam.
While by some measures the country is still in a comparatively early
stage of its telecommunications development, Vietnam has been
aggressively expanding its national infrastructure and growing its
subscriber bases across all market segments. Progress in developing the
mobile market has been especially impressive; however, the introduction
of Internet and particularly broadband Internet is still very much in
the early stages, although the 2007/2008 period saw a significant surge
in the country's online access. Vietnam has become the target for an
energetic new round of investor interest of late. Even in the midst of a
global financial crisis numerous foreign telcos have been turning their
attention to this most significant of South East Asian markets. The
market is proving highly attractive to investors at the moment. It is
generally agreed that Vietnam has come out of a period of wishful
thinking - based on the belief that it could 'go it alone.' The
government has overseen the introduction of a modest level of
competition into the telecoms market and this, combined with a generally
improved economic climate within the country, has triggered a round of
strong growth in the telecom sector. More recently the move to allow an
increased level of 'equitisation' (the Vietnamese government's word for
'privatisation') has sent a clear message to investors that the rules
are changing in a positive way and the investment door has been opened.
A significant milestone in this changing business environment was
Vietnam's accession to the WTO in 2007; it could be said that this
effectively provided a formal confirmation of the changes that had been
taking place. It has still not become totally clear however, what form
the government's involvement in the telecom sector will take into the
future. A somewhat surprising development within Vietnam itself has been
the cross-sector interest in telecoms. While there has been strong
growth in Vietnam's mobile sector (almost 70 million subscribers at the
start of 2009, 80% penetration), the country's fixed line subscriber
growth has not been so impressive. With the government seeming to be
hedging somewhat on the fixed-line statistics, this market segment has
been struggling to a certain degree over the last few years. It seems
that growth has now flattened out. In the meantime, the government
continues to demonstrate a certain ambivalence about the Internet;
government reticence has not, however, stopped the Internet market from
at least starting to move along a solid growth path. Internet user
penetration was running at an impressive 25% in early 2009, with the
increasingly 'hot' broadband segment of that market was expanding at an
annual rate of around 50%.
