3G mobile phones banned from Cambodia

by Patrick Altoft on May 28, 2006

In an attempt to block the spread of pornography the president of Cambodia, Hun Sen, today banned 3G mobile phone services from Cambodia.

Mr Sen’s wife had requested the devices were banned stating that the images could increase the “sexual exploitation of women and children … that would cast our society as a very dark one.”

A French owned mobile phone operator had been in negotiations to provide 3G services in Cambodia.
