Research and Markets: Vietnam - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts Report 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/268a8f/vietnam_telecoms) has announced the addition of the "Vietnam - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts" report to their offering.

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the trends and developments in the telecommunications and digital media markets in Vietnam. Subjects covered include:

• Key Statistics;
• Market and Industry Overviews and Analyses;
• Regulatory Environment and Development;
• Major Players - fixed and mobile;
• Infrastructure;
• Broadcasting and Digital Media;
• Mobile Voice and Data Market;
• Internet, including VoIP;
• Broadband Services - fixed and wireless;
• Scenario Forecasts - fixed-line, mobile and broadband subscribers.

Market highlights:

Vietnam's mobile market had reached 158 million subscribers by March 2011 for a penetration of 176%.

The country's annual growth rate in mobile subscribers was running at close to 40% in 2010 but moderated sharply into 2011 with growth for the year likely to be under 10%.

In the 2007/2010 period the country's fixed broadband internet market had grown strongly, jumping 200% to reach more than 3.6 million by end-2010.

Overall fixed broadband penetration remained relatively low, however, at just 4% of population.

Although interest in broadband services in Vietnam had finally picked up, fixed broadband growth suffered a setback in the first half of 2011.

By contrast, mobile wireless broadband saw strong growth into 2011.

Fixed-line subscriber numbers appeared to be stagnating in 2010/2011 (with some inconsistent figures coming from the regulator).

Following on from the successful launch of its Vinasat-1 satellite in early 2008, Vietnam was already moving towards the country's second venture into the satellite market, with the 2012 launch of Vinasat-2 reportedly running to schedule.

Despite what at times seems a painfully slow process of regulatory reform, change certainly has occurred and Vietnam's telecom sector is now a vastly different market from what it was a decade ago.

Another year has gone by and we are still awaiting progress on the equitisation of Vietnam's state-owned telecom operators.

Data in this report is the latest available at the time of preparation and may not be for the current year.
