Net keeps telcos on their toes

Smartphones in Cambodia are dirt cheap. You can pick up an entry-level smartphone capable of video and audio streaming and internet browsing for just $90. Mobile data packages are also very low. For $5 you can receive up to three gigabyte of data per month.

Some 907,000 smartphones were sold in Cambodia in 2013, up 42 per cent compared to 2012, according to Singapore-based research firm GfK. GfK estimates that Cambodia’s smartphone market is now a $300 million industry.

Smartphone manufacturers are saturating Cambodia’s market in an effort to meet the demand for new technology.
