Vietnam to build the world’s highest TV tower

[BoQ77]

VietNamNet Bridge - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has approved the cooperation agreement between the Vietnam Television (VTV) and the State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC) to establish a joint stock company to build the Vietnam television tower, the highest of its kind in the world.

Japan's Tokyo Skytree is currently the world's highest TV tower at the height of 634m.

This project will be implemented on an area of over 14 hectares in Tay Ho District in Hanoi.

This project must be approved by the government because it is a specialized international-scale project. The project will enjoy the highest incentives in accordance with the law.

Besides SCIC, VTV can select other partners, which are private firms, to operate the project.

After the project is put into operation, VTV and SCIC can issue shares to recover capital.

According to the Government, this is a significant work in the field of television in Vietnam, which will have a positive effect on tourism, investment and society, and will also be architectural highlight of Hanoi.

Is this really beneficial or for show for the people. VN likes to show off its architecture despite being less developed like the largest dragon shaped bridge, longest cable car and asia's largest underground retail and entertainment complex.

I think any project must process cost - effective analysis. So I also doubt the same.
But I'm ok if the investor could prove it.

This project is not invested by government. The actual design and height can be changed, after the investors calculate the cost effectiveness. However, a good PR for Vietnam.
