The minister came up with the disclosure at a press conference at the Secretariat on Wednesday. The media briefing was organised to inform the New Year plan of the ministry and to mark the two-year anniversary of the government.
Auction for 4G spectrum will be held this year. Side by Side the whole country will be come under the 3G network after extending its now 2.5G, said the state minister.
“This bidding will be open to all operators. The state-run operator Teletalk was able to launch 4G services before others. But it won’t be given that privilege this time,” she said.
Due to cyber security and to dissolve the complaints, a meeting with the Facebook authorities will be held on January 12 in Singapore, added Tarana Halim.
The 3G spectrum auction was held on September 8, 2013 in which Grameenphone, Banglalink, Robi and Airtel participated.
