Adopts a pilot program to open telecommunications services using low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite to FDI

19 Feb 2025

On 19 February 2025, Viet Nam approved a pilot programme allowing fully foreign-owned companies to provide telecommunications services using low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite technology. Previously classified as facilities-based services (FBO), LEO-based telecommunications services were subject to foreign ownership restrictions on shareholding, capital contributions and investment ratios. Under the pilot investment programme, these restrictions have been lifted, with no limitations on foreign ownership, capital contributions or investment shareholding ratios.
