HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) will have more wholesale policies to create a more transparent legal corridor, making it easier for virtual mobile carriers to negotiate when buying traffic. Nguyễn Phong Nhã, deputy director of the Việt Nam Telecommunications Authority (VNTA), said that mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) was no longer a new concept. These are businesses that do not own telecommunications infrastructure but still provide mobile services by renting infrastructure from carriers. Up to now, MIC has licensed five businesses to provide virtual mobile network services in Việt Nam, including Indochina Telecom, Mobicast, ASIM, Digilife and VNSky. Virtual carriers only need to sign contracts to buy SIMs from other mobile carriers to be able to provide services.
