LONDON – Cambodia continues to be a least developed country and it is also one of the poorest countries of Southeast Asia. However, the government is continuously undertaking efforts to upgrade and expand the local telecom infrastructure, and some positive results are already vivid. For instance, the digital technology is already available in this country.

In the meantime, the market had initiated to undergo rationalization, and the number of players went down.

Such slow growth is expected to continue in the upcoming years and the situation is unlikely to change until 2021. The mobile penetration is forecast to be approximately 140% by 2021.
