Er - yes. That's why I said "later".

Is a techno-colonialiasm the end result of some sort of musical/military
fetish?

On reflection I think I was wrong about the /26 anyway. It would have
been much less. The first Internet-like connection into Vietnam, around
1992, was dialup links from the Australian National University and
basically just carried email. It was probably just a few end-point
addresses. By the time there was anything properly Internetty into
Vietnam it was the late 90s.
