There
are 15.5 million landlines in Vietnam and 30.23 million mobile phone users, the
Ministry of Information and Communication said following a survey.
Though only 30.23 million out of the
86-million population used cell phones, there were as many as 150 million
subscriptions, it said.
No part of the country is left uncovered, and,
interestingly, more people use mobile phones in the countryside -- 62.8 per
cent of total users -- than in urban areas.
Around 8.3 million households, or 42 per cent
of the population, have landlines, with the majority still being rural, albeit
marginally.
The number of households with personal
computers is 2.5 million, or 12.6 per cent of the population, and they have 3.1
million computers.
The number of internet subscriptions is 3.2
million, with rural areas accounting for only a quarter.
The survey, began in June last year, was
comprehensive, covering 63 out of the 65 provinces and more than 132,300
hamlets and villages.
