geovalin Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The Asia Internet Coalition (AIC) yesterday expressed concern over the plan to establish the National Internet Gateway (NIG), urging the government to assess the impact on the end-users in the country. In a letter sent to Prime Minister Hun Sen and the Minister of Post and Telecommunications Chea Vandeth yesterday, the AIC and its members said the draft of the sub-decree on the establishment of NIG poses serious risks to businesses and internet platforms. “Having a single national internet gateway creates concerns in terms of failure, as there is no alternative to the country’s connection to the global internet,” the letter said. The AIC believes that establishing a single national internet gateway undermines citizens’ rights to internet access, raising grave concerns about freedom of expression, media censorship, user privacy, deteriorating internet speed and increasing cybersecurity risks. “Against this backdrop, we urge the government to assess the impact on the end-users in the country, to which AIC will be grateful to participate and deliver further inputs,” the letter added. The AIC is an industry association, composed of leading internet and technology companies including Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter, SAP, Cloudflare, Expedia Group, Airbnb, Grab, LinkedIn, LINE, Rakuten, Yahoo (Verizon Media) and Booking.com. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50790953/concerns-raised-over-internet-gateway-plan/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 A single channel (a.k.a. choke point) into and out of Cambodia would likely destroy any foreign company's interest in opening a business depending on instant communications with the head office and SEA clients. HE is spending too much time in the company of his Beijing Boss. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
