Cambodia's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPTC) has dropped plans to create a state-run internet hub. The ministry was earlier considering establishing a central domestic internet exchange through government-owned Telecom Cambodia, but has dropped plans to compel Cambodian ISPs to use the central hub and will allow them to use any internet exchange, The Phnom Penh Post citing a source within the ministry. The plan was controversial, sparking concerns over censorship and connectivity pricing. The ministry will require internet exchange companies to get a licence, but further details were not provided.
