Bangladesh's own communications satellite
Bangladesh Cricket Control Board on September 20, 2011 has decided to set up a satellite TV channel to telecast their cricket matches and they have also allocated Tk. 30 crore for this project. Currently, all the satellite TV channels of our country are airing programmes via foreign satellite. A few years back, some Bangladeshis completed their training abroad at the government's expense to set up Bangladesh's own satellite . Also, a few months ago, the telecommunications minister said that Bangladesh would soon have its own satellite.
I urge the authorities concerned to set up Bangladesh's own communications satellite soon which will save a huge amount of our hard-earned foreign currency.
