Government’s quest of digitalising people’s lives is reaping its fruits. Digitalisation in every aspect of life is not only helping us economically but also propelling us towards more sustainable solutions in every phase.
In that continuity, every village in the country will be connected with fibre optical cable and high speed internet connection by 2025.
In this regard the ICT families, including the ISPAB, have to work together to make internet a fifth basic service, as well as to make it easier and more accessible.
The introduction of fibre optic technology in
rural areas will open endless possibilities
Internet service providers have played the most important role in providing affordable high speed internet services for all. In a short span of time, under the Public Procurement Rules, 109000 connectivity will be established through the members of ISPAB to deliver fiber optic cable to rural areas by 2024 and 20 lakh by 2025.
This initiative is important for the future of Bangladesh and in building a digital society underpinned by good internet service providers. We really appreciate and are invigorated by this striving step towards enhancing the quality of internet service to millions of people in our country. This is because in Bangladesh internet is used by mass number of people and it has totally revolutionised the way our society and economy operate, from digital payments to social media it is everywhere.
We still hope that our surging increasing economic growth and additional investment in necessary infrastructure will make it only a matter of time before fibre optic connectivity and usage becomes extensive. The introduction of fibre optic technology in rural areas will open endless possibilities.
