Internet connection at home becomes a hot topic now in Cambodia, especially in Phnom Penh and some main areas of other provinces. Everyone want to seek a good provider and with suitable price and service.
To help recommend to our people so let’s everyone try to vote for one ISP that you can recommend to others. I will keep the poll until the end of year to see, how popular of each ISP?

This morning, when I opened my gmail account I found an alert about Google Voice call to phone.
It announces to give free call to USA and Canada until the end of this month (August 2010).
Unfortunately, it’s not available to call in Cambodia yet but you can ring from your gmail to your Cambodian mobile phone.

When I saw a message from Mr. Danh Hong, the one who created most of Khmer Unicode fonts, told us about his new achievement to publish Khmer unicode font via Google Font API, really made me surprised and happy.

Sample HTML Google API for Khmer Unicode
So now welcome to Google Font API for Khmer Website Designer, it will be more easy to embed Khmer Unicode font via Google API, here is the example:
<html>
<head>
<link href=’http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Hanuman’ rel=’stylesheet’ type=’text/css’>
<style>
body {
font-family: ‘Hanuman’, serif;
font-size: 20px;
}
h2 {
font-family: ‘Hanuman’, serif;
text-shadow: 4px 4px 4px #006600;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Google Font API</h1>

Thank Mr. Danh Hong for your distribution to Khmer ICT community.

DO NOT CONFUSE - Bandwidth is limited
It sounds very great when hearing that we have unlimited internet connection usage for 5 USD per month in Cambodia.
I open a topic in barcamphnompenh google group to find out who has used and how he/she felt and mostly they felt bad to fall in such a fake promotion.
WHY?
In fact, it has no unlimited as they said but they gave following options:
- For 0.5$/day, bandwidth allow only 50Mb only
- For 2$/week, bandwidth allow only 300Mb only
- For 5$/month, bandwidth allow only 1Gb only
This information we got only when we call to cellcard center (812) if you check in their website: http://www.cellcard.com.kh/kh/service/data_mobile_internet.php (CLICK on Price) no mention about the bandwidth.
Another thing to be careful:
They will charge you after you already use the limited bandwidth (ex: 1gb) by 400KB/cent (See in their terms and conditions):
Users will be charged pay-per-use rates (400KB/cent) upon expiration of their package, or upon reaching the fair usage limit associated with each package
CellCard doesn’t notify their use before they automatically charge their customer, they should cut or notify user while they subscribed so that many people have lost their money from phone after just try to use their service for a day to try. (See an example user who used to this promotion “in Khmer”)
In Cambodia, many people always fall into such promotion by many phone service providers. Every day, they always promote their phone service usage by many ways. Who always falls into this? Mostly students, young people who always think they are cheap so keep calling unnecessary things.
The first quarter of 2010 that the number of mobile phone subscribers increased to 7.1 million users. (from blog)
Maybe phone service providers forgot one warning of the Ministry of Information said lately in 2009: About phone service advertising
So please be careful before you make decision on the promotion.
