ICT sector
From a recent news report related to ICT sector published in The Daily Star on 23 April, we came to know that different agencies are taking up a number of major projects, ranging from installation of private sector submarine cable to launching of a national communication satellite. Apart from these, BTRC has already undertaken a couple of steps i.e. a massive drive against the illegal VoIP business, fining mobile phone companies for illegal VoIP business and awarding Call Centre licence at a cheap rate etc. with a view to developing the ICT sector in Bangladesh.
It is a good news that BTTB has also agreed to cut the Internet bandwidth charge costs in line with the charges in the neighbouring countries within two months.
The measures adopted by the CTG to promote the ICT sector are very positive, as these will generate more employment opportunities for young bright boys and girls of the country. But these measures should have been taken a decade ago!
