Introduction

The liberalization of Bangladesh’s telecommunications sector began with small steps in 1989 with the issuance of a license to a private operator for the provision of inter alia cellular mobile services to

compete with the previous monopoly provider of telecommunications services the Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (BTTB). Significant changes in the number of fixed and mobile services

deployed in Bangladesh occurred in the late 1990s and the number of services in operation has subsequently grown exponentially in the past

five years.
