Uniform call rate unacceptable

The recent move by telecom regulator Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to introduce uniform call rate for all mobile operators has disappointed most of the mobile users.

BTRC declared the move without conducting any mass hearing. Thanks to this rather hasty decision, the voice packages that subscribers were using ended abruptly. Most of the subscribers had to pay for the sudden change in floor rate and the maximum rate.

Additionally, many people from lower and middle income groups have already affected by this new call rate arrangement.

I hope the BTRC will reconsider this step. They should come up with a call rate that will be helpful for subscribers from all walks of life.
