Executive Briefing: Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications June 2, 2008

Welcome to the first of our Executive Briefings with a Global focus. We plan to constantly broaden our horizons at the Telecom Council by inviting, hosting, and discussing telecom issues with delegates from distant and distinct global markets. For our first event, we're excited to introduce our members to a group of senior executives from Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT).

VNPT is Vietnam's incumbent P&T services organization. It oversees mail and shipping services and builds, operates, and maintains the nation's voice and data communications networks. VNPT is responsible for landline, cellular, Internet, and satellite systems. It also manufactures and distributes network products including copper and fiber optic cable, digital microwave equipment, and peripheral devices. Note that the telecom market in Vietnam is now a highly competitive space, with entry from other regional players like SK Telecom.

The VNPT team will provide an overview of recent activities, and upcoming milestones for the company, and the fast-growing telecom services market of Vietnam. We'll get the chance to learn a little more about the nature of the industry in Asia, beyond the obvious giants of China, Japan, and South Korea. With the recognition that developing nations are critical to future growth in the global market, there's a lot to learn about at this global event.

Free to members or $50 for non-members.
