Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/23f8a29f/cambodia_telecom) has announced the addition of the "Cambodia - Telecoms, Mobile, Internet and Forecasts" report to their offering.
Hot Competition Continues in Cambodia's Mobile Sector As Market Rationalisation Begins
Cambodia has successfully managed its transition into a vibrant telecom market. Despite the country's status as one of the least developed nations in the world and whilst it remains one of the poorer countries in Southeast Asia, Cambodia's efforts to expand and upgrade its telecom infrastructure have certainly been bearing fruit. There was very little infrastructure remaining from before the tumultuous Khmer Rouge days. As a result, Cambodia bypassed rebuilding the fixed-line market and quickly launched into alternative technologies, jump-starting its telecommunications infrastructure with digital technology. Not surprisingly, mobile services have completely overwhelmed the market.
Market highlights:
- Cambodia's mobile market continued on its positive expansion path in 2010 and into 2011, although the annual growth was slowing;
- With mobile penetration of around 56% coming into 2011, the market has passed the eight million subscriber milestone;
- Cambodia had nine licensed mobile operators in a crowded, highly competitive market that invited questions about its likely overcrowding and the possible need for some sort of early rationalisation. The expected rationalisation had started in late 2010;
- The development of fixed-line services continues to languish, although the market has picked up a little momentum;
- The internet segment has also been languishing for some time, but there are promising signs that the widespread introduction of wireless broadband services will see a long-term surge in growth;
- By 2010 there was evidence that the anticipated surge was starting, after internet subscriptions grew by almost 100% in 2009.
