News Desk :
After a continuous six-month fall since July last year, the number of mobile subscribers in the country increased by six lakhs to 18.08 crore in January which was 18.02 crore in December, in accordance with Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC).
Banglalink, the third-largest operator in the country, gained the highest number of customers in that month.
Out of the six lakh new subscribers, Banglalink secured around 3.3 lakhs, while the market leader, Grameenphone, received 80,000 and the second-largest operator, Robi, gained 2.1 lakh new subscribers.
Commenting on its performance, Taimur Rahman, chief corporate and regulatory affairs officer of Banglalink, stated that this reflects Banglalink’s significant investment in its network infrastructure.
“In addition to spectrum procurement in 2021 and 2022, we deployed nearly 4,000 sites last year, which increased our coverage by 40% and made us a nationwide player. With this enhanced coverage, capacity, and spectrum availability, Banglalink has consistently been the fastest mobile network in Bangladesh, a recognition once again affirmed by Ookla,” said Taimur Rahman.
He added that Banglalink strives to provide better quality service for the people of the country.
