The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission has made certain tarrif regulations for telecom operators. The commission is in the process of formulating a comprehensive ‘Tariff Regulation’ in consultation with all stakeholders in the telecom industry. The regulations include call charges, which will be bounded by a circuit between BDT 2.00 per minute and BDT 0.25 per minute, irrespective of any promotion, any package, any network, timing, pulse and F&F. There should also be uniformity in the tariff plans offered in different locations. The other regulations include limitation of promotional tariffs for a period of two consecutive months or less, no migration charges can be applied if an existing subscriber desires to migrate to a new promotion package, and if bonus airtime/talk time is granted as reward in a package, such bonus facility will be applicable for off-net call purpose only.
