At the very outset, I can say it’s a path breaking decision by the Bangladesh government. The decision to grant VoIP licenses to all service providers of the country will not only create conducive atmosphere for the growth of VoIP in Bangladesh but also in other Asian countries, who always have had bitter relation towards this technology.
The Dailystar explains that the seven-member technical committee headed by Saiful Islam has recommended the government to grant VoIP licenses to all the operators including mobile and fixed line phone providers of the country.
The technical committee was constituted last month to review the VoIP market in the light of increasing number of illegal VoIP operators and government’s drive to wipe out these service providers.
