Vietnamobile is a Vietnamese mobile network operator. It is a joint-venture of Hanoi Telecom and Hutchison Asia Telecom Group[1] and the fourth largest provider as of 2012.[2]
History
HT Mobile was set up in 2007 as a joint-venture of Hanoi Telecom and Hutchison Asia Telecom Group.[3] It was renamed to Vietnamobile in 2009, accompanied by the adoption of GSM technology to replace the less popular CDMA.[3]
It started offering 3G services in late 2011, long after its major competitors.[1]
Vietnamobile had a market share (estimated based on revenues) of 8% in 2012.[2] Its main competitors are Viettel with a market share of 40.67%, Vinaphone with 30%, MobiFone with 17.9%, the three large state-owned providers with a market share of almost 90%.[2] The only smaller competitors are Gmobile and S-Fone.
