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.
