Bangladesh’s telecom system, long criticised for inefficiency and corruption, is undergoing a major overhaul under the proposed ‘Telecom Network and Licensing Reform Policy 2025’.
The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission’s (BTRC) draft policy to reform its complex licensing regime arrives with bold promises — streamlining processes, encouraging competition, and attracting foreign investment.
This is the swiftest recommendation from the BTRC for any such licence, according to a BTRC official.
The telecom regulator has revoked a cartel that controlled the international incoming call market in Bangladesh since 2015.
The move comes through an amendment to the International Internet Gateway (IIG) guidelines, according to BTRC documents.
A total of 29 international internet gateway (IIG) service providers in Bangladesh still owe the country’s telecom regulator about Tk 205 crore collectively even though the monthlong window to clear their dues has long passed.
The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission has come up with a draft ordinance that would bring sweeping changes to the law, paving the way for the telecom regulator to win back its independence taken away by the previous regime through amendments.
The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) recently ordered the suspension of all voice call services provided by three International Gateway (IGW) operators for breaching rules.

The internet regulator is abandoning its plan to allow Bangladesh to be the transit point for bandwidth supply to India’s northeastern states on concerns that it could weaken the country’s potential to become a regional internet hub.
