The Hanoi People’s Committee has issued a regulation to deal with the monopoly in providing telecommunication services at many local apartment buildings.
Tenants at Hanoi's apartment buildings will have more choices for telecom services
Currently, households at many apartment buildings in Hanoi can only use one telecom service provider selected by the building management board for internet or cable television. It means that there is no way for other providers can install their equipment in the buildings.
Tenants have had no other choice in terms of telecom services. In some cases, the service providers have not provided full details to households in apartment buildings about promotional programmes.
Under the new regulation issued by the Hanoi People’s Committee, owners of inner-city apartment buildings have to develop infrastructure that can handle the roll-out of high-speed internet services provided by at least two companies, offering a fairer playing field for telecom services.
