Owing to the rising popularity of smartphones in Vietnam, demand for rapid data communication has been growing strongly in the country. However, the pace of 3G adoption rate has been lukewarm, and we believe that this has mainly been due to poor network infrastructure in the country. That said, we have recently raised our outlook slightly for the country's broadband market, as telecom operator Viettel has made plans to roll out high speed internet service nationwide in 2014. This will help to increase Vietnam's broadband penetration from 5.6% in 2013 to 8.1% over the next five years.
