We have visited honourable ICT minister last month during bdNOG3 and
expressed our views on this. Hope things will rollout soon.

Strange news! I suggest you contact the state minister for ICT division Mr.
Zunaid Ahmed Palak about this. He is very enthusiastic about ICT and might
push the ICT ministry officials in the appropriate direction
