According to statistics of the MIC's Authority of Telecommunications, in 2021, Việt Nam had 70.9 million mobile broadband subscribers, accounting for 57.23 per cent of total mobile subscribers and representing an increase of more than 4 per cent compared to 2020.
In 2022, the authority targets 100 per cent of adults owning a smartphone; 75 per cent of households installing fiber optic internet; and 85-per cent mobile broadband subscribers per 100 people.
