Vietnam is aiming to improve and develop its Internet infrastructure to align with the advancement of new technologies, while ensuring safety and sustainability, in order to meet the growing demand for Internet usage.
The Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) announced on July 25 that it has been operating the latest update of i-Speed application version 4.0 to measure Internet access speed in Vietnam for Android operating systems for a week.
Solutions, technology applications, and orientations to develop a secure and sustainable Internet infrastructure in Vietnam topped the agenda of the 2024 VNNIC (Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre) Internet Conference in Hanoi on June 7.
The Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) has recently proposed a number of new regulations on Internet resource management, including the national domain name ".vn".
A conference to review the first phase of the programme on the transition to Internet Protocol version 6 for state agencies (IPv6 for Gov) and discuss the implementation of the second phase of the plan was held at the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) in Hanoi on March 28.
Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Pham Duc Long has highlighted the internet as a crucial part of infrastructure and the backbone of digital transformation.
A conference will be held by the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) in the central city of Da Nang from June 22-25 to discuss the future of the internet.
The fourth COVID-19 outbreak has severely affected Vietnamese trade. However, many businesses in the country have taken advantage of this difficult time to make a transition from traditional business to that in the digital environment.
i-Speed, the first Made-in-Vietnam internet speed measuring app, was rolled out in Hanoi on April 2 by the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) and the Authority of Telecommunications under the Ministry of Information and Communications.
About 486,000 internet addresses had been registered with Vietnam’s top-level domain (TLD) “.vn” as of September 30, which tops all other ASEAN domains and is among Asia-Pacific’s top ten in terms of usage.
The “.vn” domain name has always had the highest number of registrations across Southeast Asia since 2011, the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre said on March 5.
The total number of national registered domain names with “.vn” reached 453,979 as of last month, an increase of 9.33 percent over the same period last year, according to the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre.
The Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) urged that the management and oversight of websites using international domain names be strengthened to prevent violations.
Customers who want to use Vietnamese domain names can register through registrars instead of registering with the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) from April 15.
More than 106,300 new ".vn" domain names were registered in the first 11 months of this year, bringing the total number of ".vn" domain names to 343, 370, a year-on-year increase of 16.4 percent.
Only a low proportion of Vietnamese companies have registered their domain name using “.vn”, according to the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre.
