Dear all:
Since long time we are talking about internet price but still realization by the policy maker is very poor. Only BASIS is playing a very active role on it but still no success. The policy makers are not taking it as a very important issue for development of ICT in
of the country. Recently govt. has reduced the price some where about 30% but it still looks funny.
According to the BTRC chairman in his recent comments published in "the daily star" said, BTTB bandwidth price is abnormally high and he added it should be come down to TK 10,000 per mega bites where presently it is TK 80,000 per mega bites.
He also said that, the price of one mega bites is around taka 1725 in India and Pakistan. So, we can understand where we are. If the price comes down to TK 10,000 per mega bites, still it will be around 6 times higher than India and Pakistan.
My concern is why govt. is focusing on gaining huge margin on its cost for internet bandwidth? Is it an IT friendly step? Or it is because of some concern business who really working against the national benefit for their personal interest?
If the price of internet bandwidth can be lowered or distributed without margin (no profit no loss) stage I think people will return the nation many times than it is presently gaining from the margin. It's a very important raw material for national ICT development
and ICT export earning. So govt. should thing it with highest interest for creating an environment where ICT can grow with full pace.
