The owner of the mobile operator 3, Hutchison Telecom, keeps expanding its worldwide operations, and as of April 9th, along with Hanoi Telecom Joint Stock Company they have a new mobile network in Vietnam, functioning in the country’s 64 provinces!
Commenting on the announcement, Hutchison Telecom’s CEO, Dennis Lui, said: “The launch of Vietnamobile completes Hutchison Telecom’s strategic step of relaunching the operation with GSM technology. This positions the operation to compete more effectively in Vietnam and better tap the potential of one of the highest growth mobile markets in the region.”
For the record, Hanoi Telecom used to operate a Nortel provided CDMA network, but started a switch-over to an Ericsson based GSM platform last year.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
