The Internet in Cambodia


The Internet in Cambodia

As Cambodia continues to grow, so does its connection to the world. These days there are numerous places you can go to use your own laptop to connect to the internet. Not just in coffee shops but in fast food restaurants, bars, and even gas stations. The cost to locals for home use has dropped tremendously. For various speeds and bandwidths the prices range from $29.95 to $89.00. Always remember vat is added to all prices, and even the locals pay vat. Fast wireless internet (3.5G or 7.2MBpS) is now available in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville with slower Edge coverage in almost all other areas. Tourists can add mobile internet to their SIM for as little as $5/month (1GB max) (Mobitel and others) or unlimited data package for $50/month, Because of the literacy rate in Cambodia, an issue arises of whether Cambodia focused sites need be in English or Khmer. English is the predominate language of the internet and is taught in the major universities in Cambodia. The majority of internet users in Cambodia are able to understand English, but with the use of Khmer unicode more sites are able to become bilingual. Still Khmer has a long journey to be included in the internet with the same status as other South East Asian languages such as Thai and Vietnamese, but as more Cambodians get online, the better outlook Khmer has for lasting internet success.
