The Vietnamese military is the top mobile operator???????

Looks like yes, not necessarily bad. Viettel is a civil arm of the military. The army needs money I mean the money must come from somewhere to finance military R&D spendings.

The Vietnamese military is the top mobile operator???????

That is right. The Vietnam army is somehow out of control of government. Itself is a major power pole.

What happens when the military has an independent revenue that is not controlled by the government?
If the Vietnamese government were smart, should ban the military from doing business.
