The state-owned telecom operator-Teletalk Bangladesh Limited will provide internet bandwidth to the students of the country's public and private universities at nominal prices to keep the online education activities ongoing, says a statement.
The learners of thirty 42 public and 68 private universities which are using the Bangladesh Research and Education Network (BdREN) platform run by UGC will get these facilities.
The students will be able to participate in the online classes through Zoom application. For this reason, the students will be under teletalk network. The students will get these facilities in exchange for 100 taka recharge per month. The recharged money will be deposited to the original accounts of the students. This money will be spent for voice call and data. Unused money will be added to the next recharge. However, the learners will not be able to enjoy these facilities, if they recharge below 100 taka and do not have minimum data in SIM.
Bangladesh Research and Education Network (BdREN) sent letters to all mobile operators including Teletalk Bangladesh Limited on July 21 so that students could use online education resource free of cost. In response to BdREN's call, Teletalk issued a consent letter to BdREN on August 28. In the letter, Teletalk said that Teletalk considers itself lucky to be involved in the initiative of BdREN in this national crisis.
