BB officials demand full autonomy of the central bank

Bangladesh’s top mobile operators, Grameenphone and Robi, have each secured 20 MHz of spectrum in the 2.6 GHz band for Tk 1,160 crore under a 15-year contract. This allocation aims to improve service quality, reduce network congestion, and support 4G and 5G services. The deal follows a 2022 spectrum auction and resolves issues related to US dollar rate fluctuations. The operators will pay in 10 annual installments.
