The Mobile Revolution
Bangladesh has leapfrogged many traditional infrastructure stages, relying heavily on mobile technology for banking, education, and communication. Mobile connectivity is the primary gateway to the internet for the majority of citizens.
Bridging the Digital Divide
Improvements in 4G coverage, especially in rural areas, are critical for digital inclusion. This allows farmers access to market prices and students to utilize online learning resources.
Preparing for 5G
As operators deploy 5G, the potential for IoT (Internet of Things) applications in agriculture and smart city projects becomes real. This next step will demand significant investment in network infrastructure.
Challenges in Rural Access
Despite progress, ensuring reliable, affordable data access in remote char areas remains a primary challenge for the telecom sector.
Conclusion
Mobile technology is not just a convenience in Bangladesh; it is an engine of socio-economic change.
