3. Introduction
The liberalization of Bangladesh’s telecommunications sector began
with small steps in 1989 with the issuance of a license to a private
operator for the provision of inter alia cellular mobile services to
compete with the previous monopoly provider of telecommunications
services the Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (BTTB).
Significant changes in the number of fixed and mobile services
deployed in Bangladesh occurred in the late 1990s and the number of
services in operation has subsequently grown exponentially in the past
five years.
