&gt; Ok, so that seems like the next startup right?<p>Sure.  Any country that doesn&#x27;t have the supporting infrastructure can be considered the next startup.<p>Cambodia doesn&#x27;t have any public postal delivery workers, for example, so I think couriers or a system like Taiwan&#x27;s with trusted shops could work well there and get more of an e-commerce market going.<p>There are some other hurdles there but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s insurmountable.<p>&gt; Where is the SMS payment system equivalent?  Have the courier bring the item, send the SMS payment, and when that is received the courier hands over the item.<p>Was that rhetorical?  You seem to have answered your own question.  Anyway, yeah, SMS systems exist, and a little more legwork is required to make them successful.  WING is one I remember seeing advertised there.  I&#x27;m not sure how much it was used but I don&#x27;t remember hearing about people buying things online too often.  Technology doesn&#x27;t do its own PR, unfortunately =)<p>One of the annoying things about Cambodia is delivery of packages from outside the country is so expensive.  I think only DHL and UPS deliver there, and for a small box it can be $100+ from the US.  If a more competitive local delivery system were implemented first within Cambodia, then I imagine that cost could come down, marking more wins for the purchasing power of locals there.
