Cambodia’s plans to implement a national internet gateway for all traffic has the potential to create significant headwinds for the country’s online gaming industry, even though it’s not seen as the primary target of the changes.
Internet service providers and telecommunications companies had been given a date of February 16, 2022 to connect to the gateway. The deadline has been pushed back to an unspecified date, but the plan is not expected to be dropped.
“The delay does nothing to change the nature of this gateway—it only pushes worrying effects off into the future,” said the Internet Society, a non-profit organization focused on protecting and improving the worldwide web.
