HANOI, July 17 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- Vietnam aims to achieve 100 per cent mobile broadband coverage on all national highways, expressways, and railways by 2025. This is following a plan by the Ministry of Information and Communications to enhance the quality of the mobile telecommunications network, reported Xinhua, citing Vietnam News on Wednesday.
By 2025, all Vietnamese provinces and cities are expected to enjoy 5G coverage along with high-tech zones, research and innovation centres, industrial parks, airports, and seaports, according to the plan.

The plan also proposes discontinuing 2G-only mobile telecommunications services, except in specific remote areas like offshore oil rigs.
