Telecom service providers sent over 15 billion text messages on COVID-19 control and prevention during the first half of 2020 and received donations via text for victims of the pandemic with total VND 152 billion (USD 6.58 million).
During the period, the sector put into use 20 COVID-19 control and prevention applications and 12 platforms for social distancing. Despite an increase in online activities, the number of cyberattacks fell by 26% (compared to the second half of 2019 and 27.1% from the previous year).
The MIC announced they have completed the provision of all online administrative procedures at Level 4. This means that service payments can be done online and transaction results are available either online or by post, upon request.
It is stated that from now until the end of the year, there will be instructions to help all localities across the countries build telecom infrastructure development plans - so as to increase the rate of its sharing to 17-20%. Added to that, MIC is reportedly making efforts to work closely with telecom businesses and manufacturers to ensure each citizen has a smartphone.
Mr. Phan Tam, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications, stated that the ministry will begin piloting Made in Vietnam 5G devices as soon as July and a 5G network using such devices in October, thus speeding up to become a digital innovation society.
Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, meanwhile, touched on the priorities the ministry needs to carry out, including helping all localities implement the local government service platform and ensuring that the IT systems of all public agencies have four-layer security.
