Viettel is the largest telecommunications service provider in Vietnam. It is a state-owned enterprise owned and operated by the Ministry of Defence.

Viettel Mobile, the most iconic product of Viettel, is currently the dominant network operator with the largest market share in Vietnamese telecommunications services market.[3] For 30 years, Viettel has grown from a construction company to a complex of five business lines including telecommunications and information technology (IT); research and manufacture of electronic and telecommunications equipment; defense industry; cyber security and digital services. Viettel is considered one of the largest and most effective state-owned enterprises of Vietnam, thanks to its highest revenue, largest contribution to the State budget and highest brand value. Since 2000, Viettel has earned VND 1.78 quadrillion of revenue whereas its profit, owner's equity and return on equity reached VND 334 trillion, VND 134 trillion and 30%-40%, respectively. Viettel has spent VND 3,500 billion in CSR activities.[4]

As of 2018, Viettel had 50,000 employees inside and outside the country,[5] and served 110 million subscribers.[6]

History[edit]

1989 – 1999: A Construction Company

Electronics and Communication Equipment Corporation (SIGELCO), the forerunner of Viettel Group (Viettel), was established on June 1, 1989.[7]

In December 1992, SIGELCO applied for the State's permission for transforming into Electronics and Communication Equipment Company under the management of the Signal Corps.[8]

On June 13, 1995, the Prime Minister issued Notification No. 3179/DM-DN on the permission for the establishment of Military Electronics and Telecommunications Company. On July 14, 1995, the Minister of National Defense decided to officially change the company's name to Military Electronics and Telecommunications Company, VIETEL in short. At that time, Vietel was the second firm to get business license for all telecommunications services in Vietnam.[9]

On July 1, 1997, Vietel Post was established, first providing newspaper publishing services.[10]

2000 – 2009: A boom in telecommunications services market

On February 3, 2000, Mr. Mai Liem Truc, General Director of the General Department of Post and Telecommunication signed a decision that allowed Vietel to pilot long-distance call services using VoIP technology. For the first time, Vietnam had an operator with licensed to supply VoIP. On October 15, 2000, Vietel officially piloted VoIP service for Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City route with “178 - your saving code” campaign. Vietel was the only VoIP service provider in Vietnam then. The campaign hit the market with a phenomenal success, bringing huge revenue and prestige to Vietel. They continued to expand the service to 62 more provinces (Hanoi and Ha Tay was separate at that time) and broke even only 9 months later.[11]

On December 5, 2001, Vietel launched the international call service using VoIP technology. One year later, they launched the Internet service, connecting internationally at the speed of 2 Mbit/s while costing only one third of the current price.[12]

On October 28, 2003, the Ministry of National Defense (MOD) changed the company's name to Military Telecommunications Company, Viettel in short, under the management of the Signal Corps.[13] In March 2003, Viettel offered long-distance public switched telephone network (PSTN) call service in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.[14]

On January 9, 2004, Viettel officially launched its current logo and brand identity.[15]

On April 27, 2004, MOD moved Viettel from under the management of the Signal Corps to the MOD.[16]

On April 6, 2005, the company changed its name to Military Telecommunications Corporation under the management of MOD and its subordinate Centers and Factories were transformed into Subsidiaries.[18]

In 2006, Viettel established Viettel Cambodia supplying international call service, Internet and leased line services in Cambodia.[19]

In 2007, Viettel introduced many key subsidiaries namely Viettel Telecom Corporation (by merging three large companies in Long-distance, Internet and Mobile),[20] Viettel Technology Center[21] and Viettel Global Investment Joint Stock.[22]

In 2008, Viettel actively promoted their CSR activities such as sponsoring “We are soldiers” TV show, “Nhu chua he co cuoc chia ly” TV Show, “Trai tim cho em”, “Operation Smile”, and so on.[23]

In 2009, Viettel Cambodia in Cambodia and Star Telecom (a partnership between Viettel and Lao Asia Telecom) in Laos went into operation under the brand names of Metfone[24] and Unitel[25] respectively.

On December 14, 2009, Military Telecommunications Corporation became Military Telecommunications Group under the management of the MOD.[26] After more than 5 years of providing mobile services, Viettel Mobile held 40% of market share in terms of the quantity of mobile subscribers, which was equivalent to 42.5 million active subscribers.[27]

At the end of 2011, Viettel's production line for telecommunications and information technology (IT) equipment was put into operation.[30] The year of 2011 also marked exceptional milestones in Viettel's research and production such as the successful trial of disaster warning system,[31] the launch of Viettel IDC's Song Than Data Center,[32] and the establishment of Viettel Research and Development Institute.[33]
