WELCOME SPEECH
Bangladesh has the lowest tele-density and the lowest telephone penetration rates in the world and even in the South Asia. According to a report by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), only 1.56 among 100 people of Bangladesh own or have access to telecom facilities.
Bangladesh Telecom Limited (BTL) was the first entrant in the market back in 1989 when it was awarded a license to operate cellular, paging and other wireless communication networks in the country. Since then, it has been renamed to Pacific Bangladesh Telecom
References: It was November 28, 1996 when the private limited company, GrameenPhone received its cellular license in Bangladesh by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. However, it started its operations on March 26, 1997.
