Viet Nam Human Rights
60 percent connected to the Internet in Vietnam
2/3/17
Over 20 years of development,
Vietnam’s internet has made sustainable contributions to society and Government
policies have resulted in 60 percent of the population using the web, said Phan
Tam, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications at the ongoing APRICOT
2017 conference in Ho Chi Minh City.
This is the first time APRICOT (Asia Pacific Regional Internet
Conference on Operational Technologies), the leading internet forum in the
Asia-Pacific region, is being held in Vietnam.
It is co-organized by the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre
(APNIC), Asia Pacific Internet Association (APIA), Vietnam Internet Network
Information Centre (VNNIC) and the Vietnam Internet Association (VIA) under the
auspices of the Ministry of Information and Telecommunications (MIC).
The conference attracted about 700 delegates from more than 50
countries and territories gathering to share experience and transfer technology
with the purpose of developing and operating internet infrastructure and
consolidating cyber security in the Asia-Pacific region.
"The workshop is part of preparations for the fourth
industrial revolution. I believe that with more than 700 guests at APRICOT
2017, this will be a useful opportunity for the experts, engineers and
technical staff to discuss policies, standards and tools for the revolution. I
believe we need a new breakthrough in the development, stability and security
of the network to meet the requirements of an industrial revolution,” said the
deputy minister.
In addition, to meet the increasing demand of the digital economy,
Vietnam has been gradually moving to IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) since
2008 in accordance with national plans on IPv6 transition for the period 2008
to 2020. Currently, more than six per cent of internet users in Vietnam are
using IPv6 and Vietnam is among the countries with the highest rate of IPv6
usage in the region.
However, VNNIC Director Tran Minh Tan said that new IPv6 services
have not been developed properly. “Besides Vietnamese internet content
providers, social networks and e-paper also need to transfer to IPv6
synchronously to meet the demands of user connection in the future."

Vietnam is a part of the strong development of Internet usage in Asia
the country has seen a sharp increase in the number of Internet users during the last decade.
Vietnam had the most dynamic Internet market in the world, with more users than no-users
Vietnam has great advantages in terms of connection.
Internet rates (both Wi-Fi and 3G) in Vietnam are among the cheapest in the world, and he was also impressed with the Wi-Fi coverage ratio in the country.
One thing that surprised me in Vietnam is that you can get Wi-Fi almost everywhere. Every shop I visited had free Wi-Fi for customers. That's wonderful.
this would be the advantage of the generation of future Internet citizens and Vietnam is fully capable of creating miracles from this trend.
It is important for future investment. Google had no international stature after only one day. The important things are investment and patience.
I see that Vietnam is developing day by day in all field and it is far different from what i knew by some hostile websites.
I can't imagine Vietnam's current development. How wonderful it is!
