Changes in access

Vietnam has claimed its place in the growth of its technological use. During 2000, the number of dial-up Internet subscribers grew from just 42,000to over 100,000, a growth rate of almost 150 per cent. Vietnam has sustained an average fixed line network growth of 26.8 per cent, slightly ahead of China and one of the highest in the region. While the country’s domestic fixed-line network has grown rapidly, mobile communications developments are less impressive.

A Least Developed Country, the Kingdom of Cambodia faces a number of barriers that impede the development of the Internet. The country has the dubious distinction of having the lowest Internet penetration in South East Asia as well as the region's highest prices. http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/cs/cambodia/index.html
