The VNTelecom Forum was created in 2006 to serve as a mailing list and online community for telecommunications professionals and students in Vietnam and abroad. It has grown to over 2,500 members from various countries who discuss technical topics, research, and career opportunities. The forum has organized successful offline events and runs collaborative projects like an online telecommunications terminology dictionary in Vietnamese. Its goals are to facilitate networking and knowledge sharing within the Vietnamese telecommunications field globally.
