BTRC to fix mobile data price, reduce number of packages

Business Desk :
The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) is going to fix the minimum and maximum price of mobile data soon, while reducing the number of packages offered by 50%.

In line with the “One country, one rate” campaign for broadband data, the telecommunication regulatory commission is going to set a floor and ceiling price for mobile data users, said commission officials at a stakeholder meeting held on Tuesday at its auditorium in the capital.
Mobile phone network operators, however, are more interested in improving the quality of services instead of capping package prices.
In September last year, the telecom regulator fixed a price for broadband internet under the “One country, one rate” campaign.
But, as of now, no such pricing model exists for the mobile internet market.
