Viettel Wins Spectrum to Become the Dominican Fourth Operator
Viettel has won spectrum in the Dominican Republic, setting the stage to become the fourth mobile operator. The award is a regulatory step, with no launch date yet. The post Viettel Wins Spectrum to Become the Dominican Fourth Operator appeared first on The Rio Times .
Viettel, a Vietnamese telecommunications group, has secured a spectrum license that will allow it to become the Dominican Republic's fourth mobile operator. The award, granted by the Dominican regulator INDOTEL, is a regulatory step rather than a commercial launch, with no specific launch date announced. To enter the market, Viettel will need to invest approximately US$560 million.
The company has been awarded rights to three radio-frequency bands in the Dominican Republic: 240 MHz in the 700 MHz band, 2300 MHz, and C-Band 3.6 GHz. This investment plan, as cited in an industry report, demonstrates Viettel's serious commitment to the Dominican market. With Claro leading the market, Altice a close second, and a smaller third player, Viettel's entry could bring increased competition.
Once operations commence, Viettel will become the fourth operator in a market that currently lacks significant competition.
