...ABSTRACT Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy of Bangladesh which provides 63% employment and contributing 18.6% to the national GDP. But unfortunately the farmer’s community is one of the most deprived ones in our country and frequent access to information remains one of the crying needs for a long time period. It can enable them to enhance their quality of life. It has been argued that telecommunication operators can come to aid in this respect. Telecommunications operators have already expanded their services and provided specialized agro-based services to the farmers. This paper attempts to investigate the attitude of the farmers about these agro-based services provided by the telecommunication operator. It also explored the characteristics of the user’s and their perception. Data were collected from 120 respondents who were the user of telecommunication operator’s agro-based services from selected areas from August 18 to October 15, 2011. The data were collected through a structured interview schedule. Evidence from interviews, personal observations suggest that most of the user of these services were young, had little farming experience with small farm side and from small to medium families. These services were treated helpful to overcome their obstacles to information collection but still not efficient like the means they use to collect information traditionally. They wanted information in various field of agriculture especially in the area of price...

American genius, Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) along with his assistant Thomas Watson invented the device. It was March 10, 1876, an important day for human civilization, the first step towards developing means of communication. We’ve come a long way since then. Today, telephone is a part of our everyday life. Nowadays, the phone is not only used for making calls, among many other functions it’s used for communicating through text-messages and so called multi-media messages, as well as to connect us to the internet. The opportunities that lie in the telecom market seem endless and the growing demand for mobile telephony systems is creating a world-wide market. The telecom industry is nowadays not only by means of millions, but by means of billions. Actors...

...AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY - BANGLADESH “An analysis of Factors Influencing the Telecommunication Industry Growth in Bangladesh” A case study of Bangladesh Author: Abdullah Md. Areef AIUB ID: 10-93465-1 Course Instructor: Dr. A. F. M. Masum Rabbani AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY - BANGLADESH “An analysis of Factors Influencing the Telecommunication Industry Growth in Bangladesh” A case study of Bangladesh Author: Abdullah Md. Areef AIUB ID: 10-93465-1 Course Instructor: Dr. A. F. M. Masum Rabbani Abstract Not very long ago, mobile were only used by the professional or it was considered as the device of luxury, and user for only voice call, but the scenario has completely changed. Now it’s a necessity of the life. As Bangladesh is a small country with large number of population, it’s an attractive market for business like the mobile operators. Customers of the market do display a strange need for communication through cell phones and are often noted to spend more money on making calls than they do on food. In terms of Social factors, the market is still thriving for more. Customers are still willing to try something new and because of lack of loyalty, customers are always ready for a new operator, hoping that call rates will fall even more which is a threat. The almost exponential growth in the Telecoms sector in Bangladesh in the last 5-10 years has had the same transformative impact on Bangladesh’s economy as the growth of Ready Made Garments...

It is a mobile application which brings buyers and sellers together in an e‐marketplace where sellers and buyers can publish and retrieve information on goods or services. It is a real‐time collection of classified advertisements that is accessible through a mobile phone connected to Grameenphone’s mobile network. Advertisements can be posted to the system and browsed on a mobile phone (within Bangladesh) using SMS, WAP, or IVR (voice, for buyers only) and through a computer via the CellBazaar website (www.cellbazaar.com, available globally).

...DIGITAL BANGLADESH- CAN IT PREVENT CORRUPTION INTRODUCTION : The present fever to launch an extensive digitalization program is sweeping the Bangladesh political, business, and elitist minds. In the face of an overarching outlook of sustainable development the Bangladesh digitalization program runs into some grave questions. The paper points out that ethics as a strongly endogenous force in development is indispensable to keep in view the simultaneity of attaining growth and social justice. These targets are variously manifested in different sectors and quarters of the beneficiaries of growth and development. In this perspective, various comparative works in the literature are invoked toward establishing the essential national wellbeing for alleviating poverty. Wellbeing is established by participative complementarities between economic growth and social justice and their disaggregate manifestations. The digital good must therefore be understood as a socially inclusive empowering good, not as an element of traditional economic theory wherein only efficiency, and thus globalization and maximization behavior, turn out to be of sole attention. The paper introduces a new model upholding participative complementary synergy, learning, and unification by an epistemic guidance of development ethics. Such a model invokes a system and cybernetic approach that combines in an innovative way the analytical with the system and cybernetic view of development. Various facts and figures relating...

... given the right conditions for growth, Bangladesh could have nearly 20 million Internet subscribers by 2020. The study titled “Towards a Connected Bangladesh: Socio-economic Impact of Internet in Bangladesh Economy,” was released with a press conference organized on the sidelines on the last day of the on-going GSMA Conference on Thursday, 21 January 2010. According to the findings of the report, “with the appropriate initiatives and policy frameworks in place, analysis suggest 18.3 million Internet subscribers in Bangladesh by 2020, equaling approximately 10 subscribers per 100 inhabitants.” These figures translate to a household internet penetration level of 32%, and business adoption of around 66%. Internet penetration has become a major indicator of social/economic development as countries are using Internet to participate in the international economy and to exploit emerging technologies for the betterment of citizens’ life, modernizing both institutions and markets. The internet study was conducted by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) on behalf of the Telenor Group, the majority shareholder of Bangladesh mobile operator Grameenphone. The BCG report was part of an in-depth research into the adoption rate of Internet and its impact in the emerging economies with special focus on Bangladesh, Thailand and Serbia. Currently about 5 million people in Bangladesh use Internet services offered by both mobile and fixed Internet service providers. Only around 4% of the total population...

...Investment: Case study of Bangladesh Harsha de Silva and Abu Saeed Khan August 2004 Abstract The paper considers the available evidence in determining a relationship, if any, in the Telecom Regulatory Environment [TRE] of Bangladesh and investments in to its telecommunications industry over the last decade. TRE is segmented in to market entry, access to scarce resources, interconnection, tariff regulation and regulation of anti-competitive practices while investments are all non-divestiture foreign and domestic private and public investment. The TRE in Bangladesh is found to be wanting in all defined aspects. Interconnection is the worst of the five components, where a mobile only parallel network is being created due to regulatory ineffectiveness where almost ninety percent of mobile users do not have access to a fixed phone. Investments in to the fixed sector in Bangladesh dominated by the state owned virtual monopoly have been sorely inadequate and continue to be dictated by the funds availability [or lack thereof] of the Government. The mobile sector on the other hand has seen some amount of investments flowing in led by the widely acclaimed GrameenPhone. However, once standardized to compare across the region, it is found, even though using imperfect data to compare, that the reason for this flow could be the rub off of the attractiveness of the region and not necessarily the internal appeal of Bangladesh. In fact, there is circumstantial...

...1.INTRODUCTION History of the telecommunication Industry in Bangladesh: In a highly populated country like Bangladesh, telecommunication can play a vital role to boost the economy and social level of people. The introduction of cellular phones has dramatically changed the lives of businesses and individuals. As there is a growing trend of workers turning from farming to other occupations, the need for mobiles is increasing among the thousands of impoverished villages. The overall efficiency of other business has increased as an aftermath of the government's decision of deregulating the telecommunications sector, which until the late 1980s had been a state monopoly. Privatization of the telecommunications sector began in 1989, when Sheba and BRTA were awarded 25-year licenses to install and operate fixed-wire lines and wireless services in rural areas. The same year, Pacific Telecom Bangladesh got the government's permission to launch the country's first cellular phone and paging service sold under brand name CityCell in collaboration with a Hong Kong-based company. The company targeted only the higher class of the society. During that time price of mobile was above Tk 50,000/=. Naturally, the growth of the industry was too slow. CityCell had a virtual monopoly until 1996, when the government gave licenses to three more companies to operate cell phones in Bangladesh. So, the government decided to bring more companies in the market and break the monopoly.After careful...
