Company Roots – A Part Of Cambodia’s Digital Legacy

The company was one of the first internet providers in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh and is now a part of the nation’s legacy in digital transformation.

The birth of MekongNet was more than just the beginning of a company; it marked the dawn of a transformative era into the future. Our initial steps were taken with cautious optimism," shared Channda, on the company's roots.
