Up to date, organizers have received attendance registers from seven countries and territories, including China, France, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Aside from that, many local telecom and electronic companies will also participate.
Bui Quoc Viet, spokesman of VNPT, said at the press meeting in HCMC o­n Wednesday that the recent launch of Vietnam's first satellite Vinasat-1 into the orbit and the coming wave of 3G would speed up ICT development in the country.
Thus, the expo would highlight 3G network and service deployment plus satellite communication which would definitely capture the attention of both suppliers and end users in the country.
According to Viet, the local telecom sector has made a long stride in recent time, and the International Communication Union has said Vietnam is the most attractive telecom market in South East Asia and ranks second for the growth rate.
"It [the exhibition] demonstrates international firms' increasing interest in Vietnam's fast-growing telecommunications market," said Viet.
Last year, the event attracted 178 exhibitors from 17 countries and territories.
