Six International Terrestrial Cable (ITC) operators have received conditional permission to directly buy bandwidth from Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL).
“Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has recently granted the permission on some conditions,” BSCCL Managing Director M Monwar Hossain said yesterday. The six ITC operators have been supplying bandwidth across the country for the last three years after importing it from India. They are currently supplying over 160 Gbps bandwidth, he said.
Monwar further said the ITC companies can directly buy maximum 10% of the bandwidth from the BSCCL as backup, as per the permission of the BTRC.
