15 VIETNAM MARKET SWOT Strengths - Highly competitive mobile sector. - Continued positive growth in mobile sector in 2011, with subscribers up by 5.4%. Fixed-line penetration and internet user rate are high in major urban centre Joining the WTO in 2008 has made Vietnam a more appealing investment centre. Weakness: - Market s dependency on prepaid services exerts strong downward pressures on ARPU levels. Lack of key strategic investors in the sector s main operators. Although communications are relatively advanced in the larger cities, many rural areas have little or no access to telecommunications services. 15
