Porn fear leads to 10 year 3G ban

Cambodia has banned the 3G technology over fears of porn and seduction. This report from the English Peoples daily has the low down:

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen announced a 10-year ban on the “3G” mobile phones on Friday, after his wife Bun Rany and the wives of several other top government officials petitioned him to do so, warning that the phones could be used by women to seduce men with pornography.

This is a very different stance from other governments who have made a lot of money from the 3G network auctions. The delay is until an “appropriate time in the future when the social morality is improved.”
