Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Cambodia, 2009-11

This time I decided to have a look at the internet service provider market in Cambodia. It is not long since there were only couple of operators in the market.

Nowadays there is plenty of ISPs to choose from. In this report I am considering any organization which is a member of APNIC and which has allocated resources from them as an ISP.
