Via Satellite: How will VinaSat-1 help drive digital TV and DTH development in Vietnam?Vinh: From 1991 we provided TV services via satellite. However, this was analog satellite. Now we can provide TV and other media services through our digital satellite. From 2004, Vietnam Television can provide a more comprehensive service, including DTH. With our satellite, we can contribute more to the TV market and bring more services to people. We can increase the TV penetration figure from 70 percent to more than 90 percent or even to 100 percent.
Via Satellite: What role do you see the company playing on the media landscape in Vietnam?Vinh: A good [information and communications technology] and telecoms infrastructure means we are creating favorable conditions for the media environment. We can help provide TV, electronics newspapers, Internet services, etc. We provide transmission and infrastructure for media services. We are the main infrastructure provider. We are the biggest provider in Vietnam, but we would also like to join with the regional network providers so we can connect to countries like Hong Kong, China, Cambodia, Thailand, etc. We don’t want to only protect our position in Vietnam but to also try to join with other network and service providers in the region to have media services linked throughout the region.
