Bangladesh to launch 3G network licenses on March
Bangladesh’s telecom watchdog plans to issue 3G network licenses on March 2009 to boost broadband service. Licensing the 2100 MHz spectrum band for 3G services would enable Bangladeshi operators to launch mobile broadband services, which their customers can use to gain fast and easy access to the Internet and online services.
Bangladesh, a country near India, has rapid growing in mobile sector with user numbers reaching almost 43.5 million at end-October from 200,000 in 2001, while the country has only 1.32 million fixed-line phones. Although nearly half of the country’s population is still below the poverty line, the country has been one of the world’s fastest growing cellular markets.
