3G phone ban in Cambodia

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen’s wife received some pornography on her 3G handset, prompting the premier to introduce a country-wide ban on 3G technology altogether by bowing to his other half’s request for action against the technology. This draconian move reflects the Prime Minister’s Khmer Rouge past. Reuters reported that Hun Sen announced the clampdown of his decision to delay the use of certain cellphones until the country’s populace can improve on its morality to use the technology wisely. This move is a shocker as Cambodia’s 3G network was just opened earlier this year. Only a select few can afford 3G handsets, and Hun Sen’s wife is one of the elect.
