Deputy Chair of the Vietnam Internet Association (VIA) Vu The Binh said Vietnam’s international fiber optic cable network strategy will allow the country to exercise a high level of control of internet connections with regional hubs.
Some unforgettable experiences for Do Quang Thang, a NetNam engineer, include typing codes with US police dogs standing by his side and serving under the "nobody in, nobody out" situation in a room guarded 24/7 by US Secret Service agents.
Repair work on some international undersea cables is unable to be completed as scheduled, and it will take more days for Vietnam’s internet connection with the world to be fully recovered.
Internet connections in Vietnam could slow down through the upcoming New Year’s holidays after three undersea cables encountered problems.
Vietnam’s internet in recent days has been mostly relying on the mainland cable system across the northern border with China, which is a part of the APG system (the Vietnam-Hong Kong section), and partially on SMW3.
