PHNOM PENH : A Norwegian company has won a court injunction against Mfone, the Cambodian mobile subsidiary of the SET-listed satellite operator Thaicom Plc, for failure to pay US$3.73 million in service charges, court documents show.
The ruling by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court in favour of the energy company Eltek Valere comes as two other Cambodian mobile operators _ Hello Axiata Co Ltd and Latelz Co Ltd _ have threatened to sue Mfone unless it repays hundreds of thousands of dollars it allegedly owes them in interconnection fees.
