WiMax and 3G in Bangladesh

In a recent talk show, the chairman of BTRC ( Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission) Major General Manjurul Alam (Rtd) has said that WiMax and 3g license will be issued in Bangladesh soon. The WiMax license will be issued within 3/4 months and in the mean time Ericsson and Huwei will be given a trial license(for 3 months period). 3G license will be issued at the end of this year. The BTRC chairman also said that the deployment of WiMax in Bangladesh will bring some revolutionary changes in the telecommunication sector although it will cost a high price to be deployed. The chairman also discussed on some technical advantages WiMax and 3G will provide. The revenue from this sector has increased a lot and he expects that with the current trend the scope is further high. Mr. Manjur also mentioned that the alternate Optical Fiber Link which is due to connect us to the SEA-WE-ME 4, will introduce competition with the current link ensuring drop in the connectivity price. Thus people will be able to get bandwidth with much cheaper price and ofcourse with higher data speed.
