Bangladesh's Development
High Price of Internet
Creating Digital Divide
□ The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC)
declared its "One Country, One Rate" policy with the stated objectives of
providing affordable broadband internet and reducing the digital divide
□ Unfortunately, it appears that most internet service providers (ISPs)
are currently not abiding by the BTRC mandated prices, especially
for the internet packages of higher speeds
☐ Additionally, there are wide variations in the prices of broadband
internet across the country which is completely contradictory with the
"One Country, One Rate” policy of the BTRC
The Bangladesh Competition Commission, should file lawsuits under
Bangladesh Competition Law 2012, clause 15(2)(a), against all ISPs which are
violating BTRC's mandate by colluding within themselves and charging
abnormally high prices
