Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City has launched a high speed network to support the roll-out of e-government services.
The new network is part of a US$2.5 million project that is being carried out by the Viet Nam Post and Telecommunications Corporation. It will connect more than 90 government departments, district committees, State agencies and other public sector organisations. The municipal authorities expect the network to improve information management within and between government agencies, supporting the ongoing drive to 'computerise' the government office environment.
The metropolitan area network will also improve the quality of the citizen experience by increasing the amount of content and transactional services available at Cityweb, the city's government information portal.
