Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) has decided to provide allocation and registration of .bd (dot bd) and .bangla (dot bangla) domains at a flat yearly rate of Tk 800 from now on. A BTCL press release issued Wednesday stated that the customers previously used to pay varying rates of Tk 5,000, Tk 15,000 and Tk 25,000 for premium domains but now the authorities cut it down to Tk 800 for all. The domains will be allocated and registered on 'first-come, first-served' basis. The customers can apply online for application, allotment and payment at WWW.btcl.com.bd or btcl.bangla. — UNB
