The implementation of the new Law on Telecommunications, effective on 1 July 2024, requires a decree from the government to provide guidance and further details on various issues. On 2 February 2024, the Ministry of Information and Communications published a draft version of the decree guiding the New Telecom Law to collect public comments. The deadline for public comments is 2 April 2024.

On 24 November 2023, the National Assembly officially approved the new Law on Telecommunications (“New Telecom Law”). This new law will soon supersede the existing 2009 Law on Telecommunications, which has been effective since 2010. The New Telecom Law will take effect on 1 July 2024, but its notable provisions regulating over-the-top (OTT) communications, data center (DC), and cloud computing (“Cloud”) services will take effect six months later, on 1 January 2025.
