The Vietnam Telecom Services Company (GPC), the biggest T mobile phone service provider in the country, plans to invest $100 million to upgrade its network this year. The company intends to install two additional mobile phone switchboards in Hanoi to resolve the problem of frequent jamming. GPC, which operates the Vinaphone network, plans to upgrade and install about 1,000 transmission stations across the country with the aim of providing Vinaphone services to all districts by the end of this year. Once the upgrade is completed, the network will be capable of providing services to 5.4 million subscribers, up 1.6 million compared to the present figure.
