Vietnam to shut down 2G mobile network from Oct.16


The 2G mobile network will be turned off across the nation from October 16, giving room for the development of such advanced telecommunications technologies as 4G and 5G to better serve users’ increasing demand, according to an official from the Ministry of Information and Communications. Pulling the plug on 2G is a significant move for Vietnam to carry out its national digital transformation programme by 2025 with a vision to 2030. Vietnam had more than 18 million 2G subscribers as of January this year and the figure was slashed to nearly 700,000 as of October 10.
