Of 82.2 million subscribers, there are 34% are of Viettel. Vietnam is one of ten countries has the fastest growth rate in telephone subscribers in the world. For 3 years from 2003 to 2006, the Vietnamese mobile market has been booming with an incredible compound annual growth rate of 79.7%. In 2003, the number of subscribers was only around 2.76 million, mainly high-income users, but in 2006 mobile services have become accessible even to the low-income users, and the number has increased to 16.02 million. The Vietnamese mobile market continues to expand with the new entrants, EVN Telecom in November 2005 , and HT Mobile in late Q4, 2006. Therefore, we forecast that the number of subscribers could reach as high as 53 million mobile phones (Active SIM Card Number), reaching at 59.38% of penetration by 2010. Our estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2006 to 2010 is 34.85 %. Unlike European countries, or Japan, Vietnam embraces both GSM and CDMA technologies. The government has favors for technology trials to make the most of new innovations. Its goal is to spread telecommunications as a main factor for the country's economic development. Receiving huge FDI inflows continuously, the mobile industry in Vietnam is composed of the latest technology. The Next Generation Network (NGN) backbone has been developing since 2001, CDMA 2000 1x EVDO was already exploited in 2006, and WCDMA is expected to be available in 2007. Mobile Number Portability (MNP) and fixed- mobile substitution are on the government agenda.
