Cambodia to become a key regional IT hub by 2015

Cambodia looks set to become a key IT hub connecting countries across Asean by the year 2015, according to one of the country’s leading suppliers of communications services, Ezecom.

According to Ezecom, Cambodia’s geographic position at the heart of Asean puts it in an ideal position to benefit from the Asean’s ICT (Information and Communications Technology) Masterplan 2015.

The plan includes provisions for an Asean-wide ’broadband corridor’ as well as initiatives to develop ICT infrastructure and resources among Asean member states. .

The 10-member Association of South East Asian Nations (Asean) unveiled its ICT Masterplan 2015 (AIM2015) at the 10th Asean Telecommunications and IT Ministers Meeting (10th TELMIN) in Kuala Lumpur last year

Ezecom, which already has fibre optic covering 99 per cent of Cambodia, recently acquired fibre optic company Telcotech. The company is already providing fibre optic connectivity around the world.
