MPTC revokes or suspends 17 telecoms licences
23 Oct 2020

Cambodia’s Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPTC) has revoked or suspended the licences of 17 telecoms companies, following an audit to assess the status of their business operations, technical capacity and financial situation. The MPTC determined that 17 telecoms companies were either inactive, employee-less, non-compliant in the payment of their financial obligations or failed to provide the required technical documentation.

Two companies have had their mobile licences revoked, namely CadComms and Emaxx Telecom, while CN Xinyuan Interconnect, XNET, Saturn Holdings, ATA Telecom, PPIN Internet, HT Networks, DG Communications, DTV Star and Cambodia Broadband Technologies have all been stripped of their ISP licences. Three companies – Aerospace Information Cambodia, Lim Heng Group and TPLC Holdings – have had their ISP and VoIP licences revoked, and Kingtel Communications is no longer permitted to provide VoIP, although its ISP licence is still valid. Finally, the MPTC says that the ISP licence of BDKtel has been suspended (rather than revoked) and the ‘position and navigation licence’ of Asia Star Resources Investment Holding has been revoked.

online gambling?

Or perhaps a gentle shift to government monopoly?

So Kingtel (Opennet) lost their VOIP licence. Were they even using it?

Over the years some have folded, while others have merged, but very few of them were actually making any money. It's amazing that so many of them have been able to survive for this long. This line from the OP is telling with regard to their solvency, "were either inactive, employee-less, non-compliant in the payment of their financial obligations or failed to provide the required technical documentation."

Just think about how many telcos there are in your home country Vs how many Cambodia has for such a small population.

I suppose none of them were owned by any Generals as they are also so plentiful.
