Indo-Bangla mobile phone service
I was wondering if mobile phone service providers in Bangladesh could come into an agreement with their counterparts in India and offer cheap call rates for the benefit of the peoples of both the countries. It is not that we cannot reach our relations and friends in India over our mobile phones but the rates are so high that you have to think twice before dialling a call. It is an irony that we can call on our mobile phones to our relations and friends in Europe, US and the Far East at a concessionary rate but making a call to India costs three times more!
Since Saarc has failed to make any concession in telecom sector for the benefit of the peoples, it would be wise if private sector telecom companies are allowed to reach an agreement on concessionary rate for cross country calls within the Saarc region.
