VietNamNet Bridge – VNPT is clearing the way to enter Myanmar. Viettel is
making hectic preparations to land in Ethiopia and Africa after it just opened a
branch in East Timor. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Information and Communication
has promised to lay down a perfect legal framework to encourage Vietnamese
enterprises to make outward investment.
myanmar-business.org, a website about Myanmar’s business network, has cited
Xinhua news as saying that a group of high ranking executives of the Vietnam
Post and Communication Group (VNPT) came to Myanmar in late July to seek the
opportunities to develop telecom services in the market.
In Vietnam, VNPT is known as the biggest telecom group which is running the two biggest mobile networks VinaPhone and MobiFone. The group strives to become one of the 10 leading information technology and telecommunication solution providers in Asia by 2015.
The group of VNPT’s executives to Myanmar was headed by Le Ngoc Minh, Deputy General Director of VNPT and General Director of VMS MobiFone.
The four day working visit in late July marked the first step taken by MobiFone in its plan to expand business to foreign new markets.
Minh said that MobiFone wishes to help Myanmar’s telecom partners shorten the time needed to launch services into the markets, and turn telecom services, which are considered luxurious for the majority of people, into popular services that fit the pockets of people.
Meanwhile, most of the newswires in Africa and Kenya have unanimously reported that Kenya has become the “aiming point” of Viettel, a big Vietnamese telecom group, which is moving ahead with its plan to provide mobile services in the African market.
Dailykenya has predicted that Kenya may officially welcome the fifth mobile service provider in the market in some more days, and that Viettel is seeking business opportunities in the East African country by setting up a branch in Nairobi, the capital city and the biggest city of Kenya.
In the interview given to The Nation, Nguyen Duy Tho, Viettel Global Director, affirmed that it keeps optimistic about the business plan in the new markets.
Tho said Viettel is a small investor if compared with other international telecom groups. However, Viettel well understands developing markets which would help the group succeed there.
However, Tho declined to reveal the details about the plan of Viettel to penetrate Kenyan market.
When entering the market, Viettel would have to compete with other four existing service providers, Safaricom, Airtel, yuMobile và Orange
However, Viettel is still considered a redoubtable rival after it has successfully developed mobile networks in Cambodia (Metfone network), Laos (Unitel), Haiti (Natcom), Peru (Viettel Peru) and East Timor.
In the latest news, ProInversíon, an investment promotion agency in Peru, on August 14 made an announcement that Peru SAC, a branch of Viettel, obtained a contract on telecom service in the South American country.
According to Telegeography, besides Kenya, Viettel has expressed its interests in North Korean, Cuban, Venezuelan, Slovakian, Paraguay, Tanzanian and Cameroon markets as well.
Meanwhile, at the ceremony to celebrate the first anniversary of the Telecom Agency under the Ministry of Information and Communication on August 14, leaders of the ministry emphasized that one of the most important tasks for the agency in the time to come is to lay down a perfect legal framework to encourage Vietnamese enterprises to make investment in foreign countries.
The Vietnamese telecom market is believed to nearly hit the saturation point, which has prompted big telecom groups to push up their outward investments.
