Vietnam in process of creating new Silicon Valley

Japan and Taipei already have advanced technology markets that are booming, but other Asian nations are quickly trying to join the global tech powerhouses. One nation, in particular, is Vietnam.

Just eight years ago, Vietnam had 500,000 internet users, but 2008 numbers indicate the country has more than 20 million users. IDG Ventures believes there will be 36 million wired users by 2010, with the number only expected to grow as more villages get internet access.
