[PHNOM PENH POST]
Metfone has claimed to control more than 80 percent of Cambodia’s
fibre-optic network, allowing it to reach every commune in the Kingdom.
The
firm said it contributed 16,000 kilometres of fibre-optic backbone to
Cambodia’s total of about 20,000 kilometres, citing a February report
from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. The last 20 percent
was split between Telecom Cambodia and Cambodia Fibre Optic
Communication Network Company (CFOCN), the company said.
Metfone,
which is owned by Viettel, a subsidiary of the Vietnamese military,
claimed its cable deployment, all of which has been done since the
company received an investment licence in 2006, was “13 times as high as
the total national optical backbone developed by the whole country
during previous 10 years”.
“Metfone is currently the owner of the
biggest capacity and largest coverage fiber network in Cambodia,”
Metfone said in a statement released earlier this month.
While
Metfone Managing Director Nguyen Duy Tho did not return requests for
comment, insiders were mixed as to the legitimacy of the company’s
numbers.
Minister of Posts and Telecommunications So Khun said
Metfone’s coverage was likely to be about 80 percent of Cambodia’s total
network of fibre.
CFOCN CEO Steven Cao estimated the number for Viettel was probably between 10,000 kilometres and 15,000 kilometres.
CFOCN
holds about 5,000 kilometres of cable, he said. Telecom Cambodia
Director General Lao Saroeun this week said the state-owned firm owned
over 1,000 kilometre.
Cao likened Metfone’s reported fibre-cable
numbers to those of its mobile subscribers. Where Metfone claims 8
million subscribers in Cambodia, Cao said the number was closer to 4.7
million.
Heath Shan, CEO of Cambodian wholesale fibre provider
NTC, rejected that comparison. He said the Kingdom’s fibre network was
quantifiable, while industry insiders have often called into question
the veracity of domestic subscriber numbers.
Given those figures,
he said the Kingdom’s total fibre network may in fact be larger than
the ministry’s February report claims, possibly as high as 25,000
kilometres but likely closer to 22,000 kilometres.
Shan noted
Metfone’s boast of reaching all of the Kingdom’s communes was one of
choice, as other companies have focused instead on more commercially
viable urban areas.
He said the return on investment for such
an extended network was “extremely long”. Also, a number of companies
were looking to wireless technology as an alternative to fibre in these
areas.
Analysts called Metfone’s early push into the Kingdom’s
over 1,600 communes a preparation for the eventual arrival of
third-generation wireless, or 3G, services there.
Marc Einstein,
industry manager for Frost & Sullivan’s information and
communication technologies practice in the Asia-Pacific region, said
Metfone is “getting its network ready for future growth”.
The
company’s move will allow Metfone to run a stronger network, one that’s
faster and cheaper for consumers than competitors and offers the
capacity needed for 3G services.
“I think it really does show
Viettel means business in the country, and that’s going to make it
harder for these other companies,” he said.
