The several thousand men who served their country at the U.S. Army's communications base at Phu Lam, on the western outskirts of Saigon, were among those support troops, with the mission of providing reliable, secure, strategic communications to the U.S. forces in Vietnam.
By the end of that year, the move of the communications center from the MAAG compound to Phu Lam was underway.
Due to the sudden increase in demand for communications circuits between Saigon and Washington and poor H.F. radio propagation conditions at the time, the first satellite terminal to be used in a war zone was airlifted to Saigon on one-day's notice and was assigned to the Phu Lam facility.

 Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Reliable domestic communications to every province in North Vietnam would be essential in co-ordinating mobilisation of the nation's resources and movement of men and material to the southern front.
Since the insurgency was to be orchestrated directly from Hanoi, communicators also would have to establish extensive long-distance networks to meet the needs of both the Communist Party's political administration of an underground government in the faraway provinces of South Vietnam and the military's strategic direction of campaigns against the South Vietnamese Army.
In 1965 some uniformity in the organisational structure for communications began to appear: the Central Office for South Vietnam and Military Region 5 were each supported by 4 signal battalion, the other military regions and the infantry regiments all had organic signal companies, and provinces and battalions had signal platoons.

Vietnam’s telecoms investment environment has been soured by a decade-long lack of regulatory clarity, resulting in a long history of poorly managed joint ventures between the state and foreign investors, as well as many project delays.
So-called "Business Cooperation Contracts" (BCC) are still regarded by the state as a primary source of infrastructure funding, but investors have seen little return to date.
Despite Vietnam’s fast-growing connectivity rates, the slow pace of reform means that meaningful investment opportunities will be hard to develop in the forecast period, although that won’t stop many from trying.
