Eliminate junk SIMs from agents for long-term benefits

Efforts to crack down on junk SIMs

At a recent regular press conference, the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Information and Communications, said that a total of 19.6 million subscribers with inconsistent information were processed after a large-scale sweep. Of these, 12.5 million SIMs without owners were removed from the system and 7.15 million subscribers had to standardize their information.

Since May, the Ministry's inspectors have also conducted inspections on owners of more than 10 SIMs to ensure that the subscriptions are operating under the registered name (the owner's SIM). After the inspection, 3.6 million SIMs out of a total of 8.6 million had to re-register their information. The remaining SIMs were locked one-way, two-way or revoked.

Mr. Nguyen Phong Nha, Deputy Director of the Department of Telecommunications, said that in the coming time, the Department will continue to coordinate with the Ministry's inspectorate to strengthen monitoring and inspection of violations and possibly suspend the development of new subscribers with violating suppliers.

The goal is to determine whether the mobile subscriber's information matches the information from the national population database managed by the Ministry of Public Security. This is to minimize the situation of inaccurate subscriber information.

In addition, since September 10, all network operators nationwide have stopped issuing mobile SIM cards at dealers. Overall, this move reflects the efforts of the Ministry of Information and Communications and network operators to limit the proliferation of unregistered SIM cards (junk SIMs) on the market.

According to statistics from network operators, of the 1.5 million new SIMs recently released to the market, up to 80% of SIMs were issued through dealer channels, 10% directly from network operators and 10% through chain channels, such as large phone retail systems. Among them, the dealer channel is considered the source that creates the most unregistered SIMs.

Some industries are inevitably transformed.

Discussing the impact of the new regulations on some SIM and card dealers, economic expert Dr. Huynh Thanh Dien said that the fact that some industries will be transformed or disappear in the future is inevitable for the development of society. This does not exclude the SIM business sector at dealers.

According to Mr. Dien, today, the digital transformation, green transformation and automation revolution are the cause of the shift in many industries. Digital transformation records the appearance of digitization in many fields, causing traditional occupations such as printing in the old way to be gradually replaced.

Green transformation is the movement of society towards activities that are beneficial to the environment. From there, polluting or unsuitable industries will be eliminated or must switch to more modern, efficient and civilized operating methods.

In addition, automation also causes some manual jobs to be replaced by machines and technology.

"For example, film photography. In the past, people needed to hire a photographer and then pay extra for the photo printing service. But now everyone has a digital camera, everyone uses a phone with a high-quality camera, the film photography profession is overshadowed, forcing professionals to change," the expert cited.

The doctor emphasized that this change and shift does not harm people. Because those working in the replaced professions have also proactively switched to other professions or learned to change their working methods to adapt.

That is the general principle, business households need to know how to rotate and participate in the labor market in the part that society needs, suitable for real life.

According to Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Vocational Education Association, the impact of technology may force many traditional occupations to change in order to survive, otherwise they will be eliminated.

He said: "Along with the strong development and increasing popularity of artificial intelligence, there are professions that will gradually disappear, but at the same time, many new jobs will be created. Jobs that require high precision, simple operations, easy to follow instructions, can calculate based on systematization... will be the professions that are most likely to disappear."

The list of occupations that may disappear in the near future due to the impact of technology has been compiled and forecasted by many organizations around the world. This list varies depending on the statistical unit and country due to different levels of development and application of technology.

In Vietnam, some traditional occupations have declined due to changes in technology and modern production and business processes. These include jobs such as bill collectors, postmen, telemarketers, switchboard operators, textile workers, gardeners, farmers, secretaries, typists, data entry workers, etc.

The above occupations may not have completely disappeared, but they are on the decline and will no longer exist in the near future. At the same time, the combination and integration of occupations will also form groups of occupations in the direction of integrating digital technology.

With 40 years of experience working in the field of human resource forecasting, Mr. Tran Anh Tuan commented that 2022-2030 will be the period when the recruitment trend for technology-related industries is always high compared to other industries.

Mr. Tuan summarized: "There is no specific concept for the phrase "career trend". However, it can be simply understood that career trend is the ability to expand and develop a certain career in the present and in the future that is trusted and pursued by most people".

According to the Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Vocational Education Association, it is very important for management agencies to research, evaluate, and forecast the development trends of the labor market and occupations. These indicators not only help authorities manage the labor market better but also serve as a basis for people to choose a career.

Economic and social changes and the increasingly strong development of technology have contributed to the creation of many new professions, leading to the demand for human resources for these new professions.
