Viettel wins best telco award

National telecom giant Viettel (Viet Nam Military Telecom Corporation) has won the Best Operator in a Developing Market award at the World Communication Awards 2009.

Viettel had been nominated for two awards at this year’s event – for Best Operator in a Developing Market and Best Regional Operator. However, the Best Regional Operator award was given to COLT Telecom Group SA, a European company.

Among seventeen winners announced at the awards night in London on Wednesday were globally famous companies like Starhub of Singapore, British Telecom and Orange Business Services of France.

Last year, Viettel, the largest mobile network operator in Viet Nam in terms of subscribers was also nominated for the ‘Best Operator in a Developing Market’ award but did not win.

The award is open to all fixed and mobile operators and service providers with all or part of their business operating within what is widely recognised as a developing market. The World Communication Awards recognise the achievements made by companies and individuals to increase innovations, and great new services that are helping to shape the industry’s future.
