ICT Press Club’s Director Board is hosting an online meeting to announce 10 most outstanding ICT events in 2022 |
Not a long time ago, ICT in Vietnam mostly focused on the telecoms field with a significant growth. Yet in 2022, this development rate is on the wane, at only 1.6 percent. Certain network carriers have started to stop the 2G and 3G services in places where demands are low, and the Ministry of Information and Communications has set a goal of completely stopping the 2G service no later than September 2024.
In addition, as people are more annoyed with scam or fraudulent calls, the Information and Communications Ministry has asked all network service providers to devise plans for stopping this irritating situation. Besides the efforts of these telecoms organizations, subscribers themselves need to contribute to this elimination by deciding which numbers to report for better handling.

Telecoms network providers commit to the Ministry of Information and Communications to collaborate to stop scam calls from August 2022. |
One of the highlights of the domestic telecoms field in 2022 is the approval by the National Assembly of the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Radio Frequency to strictly manage and rationally, effectively allocate the right to use radio frequencies in order to create a healthy competitive environment in the telecoms field. This is expected to boost the growth of telecoms infrastructure, to become the foundation for the national digital transformation.
To show the determination of the whole society in this transformation process and raise the awareness about the benefits of digital transformation, the Prime Minister choose October 10 each year to be the National Digital Transformation Day.
