HÀ NỘI — Viettel Media, a Viettel’s media company, launched the online movie website, Keeng Movies, in HCM City on Wednesday, and expects to earn US$50 million from the new venture by 2020.

Currently, Viettel has more than 100 million subscribers globally, of which 66 million are in Việt Nam, equivalent to 52 per cent of the Vietnamese market.

Viettel will launch Keeng Movies in Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar within this year and will expand the service to seven other markets where Viettel is investing by 2020, a Viettel Media representative said.
