BanglaLion
BanglaLion, a sister concern of Bangladesh Finance (BD Finance), is going to start WiMAX Internet service officially at the end May, 2009. Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, is expected to present at the inauguration ceremony of BanglaLion Internet service. It is to be noted that, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission awarded BWA (Broadband Wireless Access Service) license to three companies to deploy WiMAX in 2.3 and 2.5 GHz frequency range in 2008. BanglaLion paid Tk. 215 cr. to achieve license for WiMAX. They were also the highest bidder. BD Finance owns almost 20% share of BanglaLion.
“We are going to be the first to help the government to implement its vision of having a Digital Bangladesh”, Anwar Hossain, chairman of BD Finance said. “BanglaLion WiMAX Internet service will start by the end of this month and it will be affordable to general users. The whole country will be under this network coverage. BanglaLion will increase investment in future so that people can easily reach WiMAX service”, he said.
