Press Release Body: Vietnam, as one of the most promising ICT Markets in Southeast
Asia, was ranked as the world's 2nd fastest growing telecom market. Vietnam's ICT
growth rate was double that of average in the Asia region and triple that of the
world average in 2006. Total broadband Internet subscribers in 2007 are likely to
reach 1 million. It is expected to see a boom of 6 million new users in mobile phone
service. The country marked a year-on-year increase of 188% new telephone
subscribers, which brought the total number of telephones in Vietnam to 25.8
million. Vietnam\'s admission into the World Trade Organization (WTO) helps increase
the market\'s demand and make the whole economy developing even faster, thus creating
opportunities for the overall ICT development. Moreover, IT hardware production in
Vietnam is becoming more and more attractive to foreign investors.
