Thailand’s telecoms group, True Corporation, has announced its plan to penetrate the Vietnamese market in 2015.
Bangkok Post reported that True Corp will set their footprint on the Vietnamese telecoms market in 2015 after the Asean Economic Community is officially established.
The Thai firm is seeking for investment license in the fields of infrastructure and digital TV services, with the aim of becoming a large telecoms service provider in Vietnam.
True Corp has just invested in Myanmar’s TV cable marker with an estimated investment capital of $31,4 million.
Vietnam’s telecoms market is regarded as a fierce competition environment where several foreign businesses such as SK Telecom of the Republic of Korea and Vimpelcom of Russia had to quit the market despite their strong initial decisions.
True Corporation is a big communications group in Thailand with many subsidiaries operating in the three main areas of mobile, Internet and TV cable services. It is managing Thailand’s biggest TV cable company (True Vision), largest internet supplier (True Internet) and No.3 mobile provider, True Move.
