Since its foundation, EVNTelecom and its development strategy has not gained the public trust. Right in the preparation stage, EVNTelecom was seen weaker than other telecommunication service providers because this is a CDMA project with a troublesome 450MHz frequency. Moreover, when officially operating, EVNTelecom seldom demonstrates itself by attractive sales promotion or creates sudden in the telecom market like other newly-born networks.

                          

EVNTelecom is also devaluated in terms of designs or marketing strategies. However, as of the beginning of August 2007, only over one year after its going public, EVNTelecom is the one that has achieved the most rapid and sustainable subscriber development speed among the 3 CDMA networks under operation with over 1.7 million subscribers. Especially, EVNTelecom, in comparison with other mobile service providers, is an once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon with 97% of the announced subscribers is actual, meaning in action.

Explaining the phenomenon, some telecommunication specialists reckoned that this was resulted from a wise strategy right from the beginning, which was accompanied by polices of services and network development suitable with the conditions of the market. Among those reasons, that EVNTelecom mapped out a right strategy, directing to a “hole” in the market which is wireless fixed telephone service E-Com was the most important one. Thanks to the state-of-the-art technology, low costs and the orientation to the ignored market, EVNTelecom had succeeded in providing customers with high quality service with low tariffs and no fierce competition from the leading mobile service providers like VinaPhone, MobiFone and especially Viettel. Consequently, EVNTelecom’s subscribers were expanded vigorously and sustainably. In mid September 2007, EVNTelecom welcomed the 2,000,000th subscriber and it actually became a great service provider in Vietnam. 

EVNTelecom can be compared with a “submarine” in telecom market, which quietly develops, quietly serves customers with increasingly higher standards of quality and finally reaches its target at everyone’s surprise. A famous specialist in the field has made a comment on the development of EVNTelecom that goes ”Unnoisy, unexaggerated, but highly effective.”
