Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Experts forecast despite being relatively new in Vietnam, network sharing efforts would accelerate as the Government seeks to streamline network deployments and slash capital spending. Vietnam’s four State-owned mobile operators – Viettel, Vinaphone, GMobile and MobiFone – this month agreed to share about 1,200 base transceiver stations (BTS). This follows a deal struck in May between Vinaphone and MobiFone, which agreed to share infrastructure for 700 new BTSs. Network sharing is still a relatively new concept in the Vietnam telecom market. Operators have largely pursued synchronous deployments of their networks, which has led to a significant duplication of infrastructure. The trend is especially pronounced in densely-populated urban areas, where the rapid construction of mobile masts has also led to safety and environmental concerns from the Government. The Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) late last year published Directive … [Read more...] about Vietnam network sharing deal a positive for future telco collaborations

HCM City (VNS/VNA) - HCM City authorities have ordered the city Department of Natural Resources and Environment to work with agencies and district authorities to strictly monitor the discarding of litter and untreated sewage in canals in the city. Under a programme to reduce environmental pollution in the 2016-20 period, HCM City aims to reduce surface water pollution by 90 per cent, according to the department. In recent years, the city has dredged rivers and canals and has urged residents not to discharge waste into canals. A recent water test at 21 locations throughout the Sai Gon – Dong Nai river system showed that all water samples met the standards set by the department. Sampled water at areas such as the Nhieu Loc – Thi Nghe canal also indicated improved quality. However, canals and rivers that lie between various provinces and regions still show signs of heavy microbiological pollution, oxygen depletion and other problems. In addition, … [Read more...] about HCM City aims to reduce water pollution by 90 percent

HCM City (VNS/VNA) – Ho Chi Minh City has set a target of treating 90 percent of discharged water into rivers and canals by 2020. The city’s total daily wastewater, including wastewater from industrial parks as well as in residents, amounts to 1,750,000 cubic metres. HCM City now can treat 420,000 cubic metres of wastewater per day, accounting for 24 percent of the city’s daily wastewater. To meet this target, city authorities said they would set up 24 automatic water quality monitoring systems along the Sai Gon – Dong Nai River. Most of the water in rivers and canals met city norms, expect the amount of dissolved oxygen and coliform, according to the water quality report in the first quarter. Factories and industrial parks which discharge over 1,000 cubic metres of wastewater a day must set up automatic measuring stations directly linked to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment. The city plans to continue monitoring all wastewater treatment … [Read more...] about HCM City targets treating 90 percent of discharged water
