World Bank finds Cambodia has highest mobile data use per capita among low and lower-middle-income countries

The World Bank says Cambodia has one of the world’s lowest data costs and the highest use of mobile data per capita among low and lower-middle-income countries. In a report released in Washington Wednesday, the bank said the amount of data people consumed reflected prices offered across different markets over time.

 

“In Cambodia intense competition has brought down the cost per gigabyte of data from $4.56 in 2013 to one of the world’s lowest at $0.13 in 2019, driving up data consumption to 6.9 gigabytes per capita per month — the highest mobile data usage per capita of any low- or lower-middle-income nation,” the report said.

 

“This increase was achieved through a combination of measures such as migrating spectrum and users to 4G to achieve lower operating costs, outsourcing construction work, and moving software to the cloud,” it added. “As a result of the low data charges, Cambodian consumers devote 96 percent of their information and communication technology (ICT) spending to data services, having largely moved away from voice and text.”
