Cambodia bans 3G phones for fear of porn

Note to self: don't send MMS porn to heads of state or their spouses. Not ever. Unfortunately for tech-savvy Cambodians, someone already ruined their fun when Prime Minister Hun Sen's wife and her friends complained that their phones were suddenly rife with the XXX stuff. Never one to put technology before morality, the Southeast Asian nation swiftly banned its freshly-launched 3G network, because "We can wait 10 more years until we have managed to improve morality in society," so sez the boss. Yikes! If being forced into 1xRTT and EDGE purgatory for the next 10 years isn't a good reason to overthrow the government, we don't know what is.
