Contact peson: Rosemary Harbridge
Brief Description
CCC is in the process of setting up an electronic mail network
for NGOs working in Cambodia in collaboration with the Pacific
Community Computer Networking project, Pactok. Cccnet aims
specifically to encourage cost-effective information exchange
between NGOs working in Cambodia and their overseas partners in
order to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness.
Services Available
They should be able to receive appropriate conferences from APC
once they are operational.
Charges
Please contact CCC.
Key NGO Users
CCC currently has 58 member agencies working in a variety of
sectors. They expect a large number of these members to use
this network once it is operational.
Additional Information
Problems with telephone and electricity networks are common in
Cambodia. Modems are expensive locally. Users would need to
purchase modems which support error correction protocol.
Thailand, Hong Kong or Singapore would be the best places to
purchase a modem. Those intending to use mobile/cellular phones
should ensure that the modem they purchase is compatible with
the type of phone they plan to use for communication. Modems
for mobile/cellular phones tend to be more expensive than
modems for connection to ordinary telephone lines. Buying a
power surge protector and other devices which can protect
equipment from electric faults would be good insurance against
frequent power failures.

Brief Description
The Institute of Information Technology of Vietnam recently
inaugurated an academic network permitting e-mail to and from
the Internet.
IIOT plans to establish a micro-telematic network specifically serving the Vietnamese and international NGO community. Similarly to tens of other hosts now well established all over the world, a dedicated NGO server in Vietnam would have much to offer in addressing the specific communications and information needs of the NGO community.
Services Available
It would primarily provide rapid and low-cost e-mail and
information exchange in fora and databases with both Vietnamese
and foreign sources.
Charges
The NGO server is yet to be operational. Contact Mr. Tran Ba
Thai for more details on expected charges or for other
information.
Key NGO Users
Initially the service hopes to attract a large section of the
NGO community, at least from the Hanoi area. The existing
network is available to the NGO community.
The World Food Program (WFP) of the UN and others are using
this service.
Additional Information
Vietnam phone lines work well. Modems are expensive locally and
can be cheaper in Bangkok, Hong Kong or Singapore. Modems
supporting error correction standards are likely to provide
efficient links.
