Broadband, Bandwidth and Bangladesh

Eeeepee! we now have submarine cable and the bandwidth price will decrease. BTRC has slashed the domestic bandwidth charge by 60 percent to reach the internet facilities to the rural people, which will help alleviate poverty and ensure development.

"I still have to pay the same amount of monthly subscription fee and get the same crappy connection and they are talking about rural people, FUNNY."

Well after I heard this, which was almost 3 years ago, I thought finally opportunity will open up for freelancer and small software companies, who does outsourcing work. But as you can see 3 years has passed and only the big companies who can afford 10/15 MBPS connection are getting the benefits.

As you all know bandwidth price is a very big issue for small software companies. If you have a great idea of doing something you can't do it cause of money in this country and your government won't do anything about it. They will sanction loan to someone who already have heck lot of money but not to a guy who have a vision of doing something for him and his country. I know people who are rich and getting richer every day, thanks to the government.

Well government & people of this country think realistically for a minute - rural people needs food, shelter and want to stay alive they don't need internet, they want to survive. So think about the companies & individuals who can bring money in your country and help them, by doing that you also help the rural people.

Information Technology is the future and your country can really do good in this sector, look at India as an example, so help them every way you can. Make sure the price you implemented for bandwidth is actually carried out by the distributor and the bandwidth is not miss used in any illegal facility.
