VietNamNet Bridge – Vietnam should use a lower frequency when developing 3G infrastructure to reduce costs as well as to increase the 3G broadband infrastructure,

 VietNamNet Bridge – As much as 50 per cent of internet page viewing in Viet Nam will go to mobile by the second half of 2014, according to a report by the Ministry of Information and Communications.

VietNamNet Bridge – Now is not the right time for Vietnam to shift to 4G services while 3G technology has only been commercialized at home over the last three years, said the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC).

Mobile network operators, which lose billions of dong a year because of OTT apps, have decided to increase the 3G service fee by 25 percent. The move would allow them to pocket VND100 billion a month.

The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) is considering applying necessary management measures to prevent the unhealthy competition in the telecom market raised with the appearance of messaging, calling software via wifi and 3G.
