WiMAX, IGW license likely to open again in Bangladesh !!!

May 24, 2009 - PRLog -- The license for IGW and WiMAX will be awarded after reviewing International Long Distance Telecommunication Policy, the telecoms regulator said. "We are reviewing the policy to open the license to WiMAX and International Gateway. It will take two to three months to finish," BTRC chairman Zia Ahmed told a workshop. "Anyone can take license for operating WiMAX and IGWs as there is huge demand in the market," Ahmed told reporters.

I have a strong feeling that our regulatory commission will get award (if any) in near future for becoming the highest license granter in the world. It likes to award more and more licenses to new companies by creating new sectors. Already we have quite a large number of ISPs in Bangladesh. State owned BTCL has plan for WiMAX and 3G along with already licensed other private operators. Don’t you think, they are enough to cover a small country like Bangladesh? When Banglalink and Aktel, two mobile operators, are thinking of merging together to reduce losses in a heavily saturated market, BTRC is still planning to award more licenses.

I think, now, it is their time to be rewarded.
