Joyriding the information superhighway in an ox-cart
January 25, 2008
These statistics are admittedly a bit old, but nothing significant has changed in the last six months. The overall picture is still incredibly maddening.
CAMBODIA – 44,000 Internet users as of April/07, 0.3% penetration. 1,000 broadband Internet connections as of Sept.30/07.
THAILAND – 8,465,800 Internet users as of Sept/07, 13.0% penetration. 105,000 broadband subscribers as of Sept.30/07.
LAOS – 25,000 Internet users as of Sept/06, 0.4% penetration. 100 broadband subscribers as of Sept.30/07.
VIETNAM – 18,226,701 Internet users as of Nov./07, 21.4% penetration. 1,205,262 broadband Internet connections as of Nov.30/07.
MYANMAR – 300,000 Internet users as of Oct/06, 0.6% penetration. 800 broadband subscribers as of Sept.30/07.
Bloody Laos and Myanmar have better Internet penetration than Cambodia. That’s a disgrace.

There’s quality and there’s quantity.
“Cambodia is on par with Vietnam and Thailand for how many of those people create blogs-or Web sites made up of frequent, journal-style entries-in English, according to Preetam Rai, Southeast Asia regional editor for Web site Global Voices.”

Hi, the stats I have are for English language blogs. The number of English lanuage blogs coming out of Cambodia is more than the numbers from Thailand and Vietnam.
