Telecom operators and experts in Bangladesh yesterday demanded restructuring taxation in the sector, arguing that the rates in place are not only limiting the sector’s growth, but also potentially hindering the implementation of “Smart Bangladesh”.
The protection of intellectual property rights is key to transforming the country into “Smart Bangladesh,” according to Telecom Minister Mustafa Jabbar.
The main challenges towards building a “Smart Bangladesh” are formulating proper policies and integrating government and academic entities and service providers, said experts yesterday.
