Download PDF Three private land phone companies yesterday received licences from Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to operate fixed phone services in central Dhaka.
This is the first time private fixed phone operators, also known as PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) operators, have been awarded the licence to operate in Dhaka. The BTRC had been withholding licences to operate in Dhaka.
The three PSTN operators that received licence to operate in Dhaka are RanksTel, Dhaka Telephone Company Ltd (DTCL) and Square Informatix.
Of them, both RanksTel and DTCL received their licences in May 2005 to operate in four zones in the country outside Dhaka.
RanksTel (Ranks Telecom Limited), with more than one lakh subscribers, has an established network in four operational zones in the country.
DTCL is an enterprise of Mirza Abbas, former housing and public works minister of BNP-led alliance government. It has around 9,000 subscribers.
Square Informatix on the other hand is a newcomer — having no prior operational experience.
Sources said the phone services provided by these private companies would use wireless systems with limited mobility.
A RanksTel official told The Daily Star that RanksTel is planning to start offering land phone services to customers from end of September or from early October. Within an hour a subscriber makes the payment, a new connection would be established at the location designated by the subscriber, he said adding, “The prices would be attractive.”
RanksTel sources said the phone company is likely to introduce various package offers ranging from Tk 1,500 to Tk 3,000.
At a simple ceremony yesterday, Maj Gen Manzurul Alam, chairman of BTRC, handed over RanksTel’s licence to Zakia Rouf Chowdhury, executive vice chairperson of Rangs Group.
BTRC Vice Chairman AMM Reza-e-Rabbi, commissioners Justice M Abdus Salam, SM Monir Ahmed and Aliwardy Khandkar, and RanksTel officials Amanullah Chowdhury and Anwar Hossain were also present at the ceremony.

Open Letter to Dr.Fakhr Uddin Ahmed ,Chief Advisor CTG.
==================================================
We all know ,you are beset with multiferious problems of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh may or may not see honest patriots like yourself.
Before you hand over the power you have to create a history of good work.
We need nuclear power plants for irrigation water, electricity & Tel/mobile & the like.
We hope you will leave no stone unturned to get all these work implemented before you hand over the power so that Bangladesh doesnot remain retarded in these fields due to selfish leadership & briberies. As you know you cannot eridicate bribaries in third world countries, therefore country depend on you to exert your efforts to speed up the unfinished work or these may not be completed in next several decades.
Our prayers with you that you may fulfil all your mission to render prosperity for the betterment of general people.
Bangladesh also need a Bank for poor people where
honest hard working people may borrow money at lower rate, where the interest would not be compounded.
As we see Bangladesh has an inherent peril due to flood, many people have to be reallocated in high
lands .We will need help from international monetary funds interest free basis.
As you have seen Indians have got lion shares in UAE commercial sectors, our boys must learn Arabic & English to compete in jobs & commercial sectors.
WE do hope Bangladesh will see a better days ahead
& poor people will have less suffering from
numerious calamities.
Our cordial thanks to you & your Associates.
Thanking you,
B.Ahmed
