Cambodia looks set to become a key IT hub connecting countries across Asean by the year 2015, according to one of the country's leading suppliers of communications services.
According to Ezecom, Cambodia's geographic position at the heart of Asean puts it in an ideal position to benefit from the organisation's ICT (Information and Communications Technology) Masterplan 2015.
The plan includes provisions for an Asean-wide 'broadband corridor' as well as initiatives to develop ICT infrastructure and resources among Asean member states.
"Cambodia already has connectivity to its neighbours Thailand, Vietnam and Laos," said Ezecom CEO Paul Blanche-Horgan (pictured). "In addition Cambodia is connected to the world through the Asian American Gateway."
"With all this in place Cambodia will play a big part in helping Asean to achieve its 2015 ICT aims," Blanche-Horgan added.
The 10-member Association of South East Asian Nations (Asean) unveiled its ICT Masterplan 2015 (AIM2015) at the 10th Asean Telecommunications and IT Ministers Meeting (10th TELMIN) in Kuala Lumpur last year. The plan maps out Asean's approach to ICT with a view to using information and communications technology to help establish the Asean Economic Community.
According to Blanche-Horgan the creation of a 'broadband corridor' across the Asean region could create tens of thousands of jobs in Cambodia. It could also mean a significant increase in international investment as companies offering IT services look to 'set up shop' in Cambodia.
"With connectivity comes cross-border dialogues and agreements that will almost certainly evolve into businesses and jobs," said Blanche-Horgan. "Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) will definitely stand to benefit as regional connectivity starts to open up regional markets and opportunities."
"In particular we would expect to see call centres and business processing operations centres being created," added Blanche-Horgan.
Ezecom, which already has fibre optic covering 99 per cent of Cambodia, recently acquired fibre optic company Telcotech. The company is already providing fibre optic connectivity around the world.
Ezecom was launched in 2007 and has since become one of the country’s leading suppliers of communication services. Ezecom offers fibre optic, WIMAX, ADSL and internet-based solutions to companies and consumers across Cambodia. The company's aim is to provide high-speed data services to every province in Cambodia by the year 2015.
