Internet users rise in July

The number of internet users in Bangladesh rose in July on the back of a spike in mobile data consumption as operators try to expand their network and improve the quality of 4G service. There were about 14 lakh new data subscribers in the month compared to June, taking the total number of internet users to 12.76 crore, data from the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) showed. The gain in July stood at 3.8 per cent year-on-year.In March, the country’s four mobile phone operators bought 190 megahertz of spectrum for $1.23 billion, or Tk 10,645 crore. Once the operators add the additional spectrum to their network, the suffering for the customers in the form of slower internet speed and subpar voice services would lessen to a large extent.All of the new 14 lakh subscribers came in the mobile internet segment, raising the number of people who access internet on their handheld devices to 11.64 crore in July from 11.50 crore a month earlier. Mobile data users were up by about 2.5 per cent in July compared to the same month a year earlier.
