10 second pulse!

Pappu Ahmed, Dhaka
After a directive of Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Commission the cell phone operator Airtel recently set its rate at Tk 0.06 per pulse. It implies that the subscribers have to pay Tk 0.36 per minute where their previous rate was Tk. 0.29 per minute. In calculation, it is a 24.14% hike from the previous rate. As a general citizen of the country, I urge the BTRC to look after the matter as well as regulate all the telecom operators.
