Vietnam's Ministry of Science and Technology auctioned 900 MHz spectrum blocks to support mobile operators' 4G and 5G network expansions following the phase-out of 2G services, with licenses valid for 15 years and bidding starting above USD 40 million per block.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Mobile operators in Vietnam must start expanding 4G and 5G coverage quickly to keep service quality after 2G ends, making this a crucial moment if you provide network or device support in telecom. The auction opens access to valuable low-frequency spectrum that can broaden signal reach, so locking in partnerships with licensed operators now will matter.
