BTTB

Shuja Alim, Agrabad, Chittagong
While going through The Daily Star of 4 March'08 having a write up on BTTB's plans to cut call charges, which are still high even after the recent reductions, it struck me as strange and also frustrating that while it is essential to cut the call charges, to be competitive, to retain the present subscribers and also to attract new ones to increase BTTB's earnings, why is it that the BTTB has so far overlooked/ignored the idea of including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka & Myanmar in the list of countries where one can make Economic ISD calls? This would definitely increase BTTB's earning and as this facility is not provided by the mobile operators, this can attract new subscribers as well. I will request the management of the BTTB and the government to give it a serious thought.
