Broadband internet costlier in rural areas-546601

  The broadband internet users in rural areas face discrimination as the internet service providers (ISPs) charge more in rural areas despite a growing demand for broadband internet connectivity. The operators, however, claim that they pay high transmission cost for providing connectivity outside Dhaka through the Nationwide Telecommunication Transmission Network (NTTN) operators. For installing a new connection in Dhaka city, the ISPs charge around Tk 2000, but the fee is almost 50 per cent higher in rural areas. The penetration of broadband internet almost doubled in the last one year amid coronavirus pandemic, according to official data. Some 5.7 million internet users subscribed to the network of ISP and Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) in February 2020, which stood at 9.7 million at the end of February this year.
