****** Airtel plans to launch a fibre link to Bangladesh

[Mattrixx]

****** Airtel executives, however, declined to reveal the company’s 3G gameplan in Bangladesh


****** Airtel will shortly launch an international fibre-optic cable link to boost internet speeds in Bangladesh even as it readies to pitch for 3G airwaves that will be auctioned by the neighbouring country in early-September, Economic Times reported on Monday.

The Sunil Mittal-founded telco has invested an undisclosed sum in a terrestrial fibre-optic cable link between India and Bangladesh to have the bandwidth in place to handle the expected surge in data traffic in the neighbouring country, post-rollout of 3G services.

Its wholly-owned Bangladesh arm, Airtel Bangladesh, is, in fact, likely to take the 3G route to boost the company’s under 8% market penetration in a country that is home to some 103m mobile customers.

****** Airtel executives declined to reveal the company’s 3G gameplan in Bangladesh but said “the new fibre-optic cable link would support the anticipated data thrust in the neighbouring country once third-generation mobile broadband services get rolled out”.

Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BRTC) will also allow telcos to bid for only 5 MHz or units of airwaves in the 2100 MHz band for offering high-end data services on the 3G platform.

The spectrum auction is reportedly scheduled on September 2.

Airtel’s new fibre-optic cable link will, accordingly, serve as a second international gateway to reinforce connectivity to Bangladesh and also help route bilateral global voice and data traffic.

Company executives added that all existing mobile phone companies and internet service providers (ISPs) in Bangladesh would be able to use Airtel’s fibre-optic cable link to improve the overall quality of international voice and data connectivity in the country.

****** Airtel already has direct terrestrial cables linking China and other key Saarc markets like Nepal, Pakistan and Bhutan.

bharati is banned because it was used as a abusive word on pdf, there is nothing wrong with word p-a-k-i ... means pure.. but you know its used as abuse.

then they should ban "yindoos","Baniya","Chanakya" etc which is especially used against Indians and far more abusive(though those words related with Chanakya is funny)..
