Thanks Mizan bhai for sharing your interest . The draft Consultation Report on ILDTS Policy Review (if approved) may create a big impact on current license ecosystems.

Here some finding about ILDTS policy review based on my capacity . if anyone have any further comments please share us .

The three layer network topology introduced as per ILDTS Policy 2010 has been working flawlessly for last few years giving positive dividends in many aspects. The existing policy is no way hindrance to any technological advancement to foster Digital Bangladesh, and has lot of contributions to the development of telecom sector as well as national development. A new layer named IOS was also introduced only 2-3 years ago after lot of analysis to enforce further discipline in the sector. And, if we go for complete overhauling of the policy and network topology replacing a 3 layer network by another 3 layer system; it would be completely unwise and destructive.

If the existing ILDTS Policy is revised with change of licensing regime proposed in the consultation paper, it is likely to generate:

  *   The chaos/indiscipline/violation of regulatory obligations etc. that we have experienced before 2008 will come back to the telecom sector.
  *   Offering an opportunity to the operators and others to indulge in Illegal VoIP call termination incurring huge loss to earnings of Govt from this sector.
  *   The sector will eventually go under full control of foreign investors. Govt earnings will fall back to the amount earned during the period 2007-08.
  *   Most importantly, Foreign investor based organization will be the only player in the sector (all others will ultimately neutral die due to their financial inability to compete with existing foreign investors ).  This would result in draining out of huge foreign currency from the national exchequer to the investing countries.
  *   Local investors having IGW/NTTN/ICX/ITC/IIG etc. licenses will not be able to recover their investments.
  *   Lot of people will lose their job and eventually lot of families will be financially distressed; it will be difficult for the democratic Govt to rehabilitate these distressed citizens of the country.

A policy with such great national interest both in terms of economics, job creation, user experience & local business development should not be changed without a policy level debate at the parliament; and such debate may be arranged after detail study at the filed level. We must not forget that the existing system has been contributing a large amount of revenue to the Govt exchequer and has created huge opportunity for local employment facilitating local investment.
