Four leading mobile network operators in Vietnam - Viettel, Vinaphone, MobiFone and Gtel - have recently signed an agreement to share about 1,200 base transceiver stations (BTS) in the country, according to the Ministry of Communications (MIC) of Vietnam.
This is the first time such an agreement has been reached within Vietnam’s mobile service sector. Vietnam is among the countries with a swift development of telecommunication infrastructure and services in Southeast Asia and the world.
The agreement demonstrates operators’ determination in the implementation of policies and measures to share telecoms infrastructure in a bid to save up spendings of the state and the companies, said MIC. It is hoped to help the operators reduce infrastructure costs as well as protect urban landscapes.
