Internet users at 17.82 million in October

Cambodia has more than 17.82 million internet subscribers as of October this year, slightly down from 17.87 million users at the end of last year, according to a report from the Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia. The internet subscription has already surpassed the total population of 16 million in the country.

Cambodia Digital Tech Association president Chhin Ken said: “The high number of internet users showed how fast the Cambodian people were embracing technology, as the trend of using smartphones for studies, shopping, and social networks is increasing.” Almost all Cambodian people have smartphones, which led to a rise in the use of the internet, and it is mostly used for surfing social networks, Ken said.

“The high demand for the internet is a new opportunity for businessmen and the high competition can bring down the cost of the internet,” he told Khmer Times. Chea Vandet, Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, said that the increase in internet users reflected the development of e-commerce activities in Cambodia.
