Cambodian mobile phone market passed the 1.5 million subscriber milestone in 2006 and continued to grow substantially into 2007, local media reported Thursday.
According to a report from the Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd, an Australian telecommunications research group, Cambodia's mobile phone networks are expanding their number of customers at around 40 percent per year, while landline services were "languishing" at around 42,000 subscribers, the Cambodia Daily newspaper said.
The telecom sector remains in need of regulatory reform, the report said, adding that Cambodia needs to put administrative institutions and regulations in place to improve the telecommunications market.
Meanwhile, Cambodian Minister of Post and Telecommunications So Khun said that his ministry plans to improve landline service in 2008, but it is an expensive process, the newspaper said.
Mobile phone networks are increasing their capacity according to their customer bases, he said, adding that customers are no longer experiencing difficulty with some mobile phone networks, as they did last month.

Many phone subscriber doesn't naccessarily mean that Cambodia has created more well-paid job.
ReplyDeleteIn Cambodia, some would dare to sell their small plot of land for the high-tech products like phone, car, motobike etc.
So, don't over generalize that Cambodian ecomony accrues as you see more cars, motors, phone and the like in Cambodia.
That's completly wrong; you live in Cambodia less than I do, I guess.
