Villagers able to watch TV through DTV, but lack of electricity
More than one year, villagers in my homeland along national road 7 and near Cambodian-Vietnamese border in Memot district, have been able to access news and information on local television channels through satellite TV network (DTV), which was launched last year, with cooperation between the National Television of Kampuchea (TVK) and Cambodian DTV network.
Since the 1993 national election, people in this village only has possibilities to access news and information on radio such National Radio, Radio Free Asia, Voice of America, French radio… Local-Khmer newspapers still do not approach this village.
Even though, the access to news by watching TV programs through satellite TV is limited to the poor people because they cannot afford satellite dish and antenna costing $75. Additionally, there is no electricity provided over there too. Right now, my families are able to watch TV programs through TV satellite.
Low percentage of them has possibilities to buy satellite DTV and bought generator. For the poor villagers, they have possibilities to buy battery.
