Telenor, Inmarsat Begin Mobile Satellite Push
Representatives of Telenor Satellite Services and Inmarsat are in Hanoi to give a March 9 demonstration of how businesses and government can use satellite communications.
Executives from both companies will show how integrating the newest mobile satellite service from Inmarsat’s Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) into their existing operations may improve the mobility and flexibility of their workforce. The workshop is part of a region-wide Telenor-Inmarsat BGAN "technology road show” for service partners and communications companies throughout the Asia Pacific region.
According to the Ministry of Post and Telematics of Vietnam, in 2005 the country had more than 200,000 broadband users, and by March 2006 had 13.2 million mobile subscribers, showing a rapid growth in
telecommunications services. Research firm IDC has estimated that Vietnam and other emerging Asian countries (including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and others) will grow at 12 percent in 2007,
contributing a combined 16.1 percent of the $15.6 billion IT market estimated among those countries this year.
