Grameenphone refused to pay a fine of BDT 300.0 million imposed by the telecom regulator for running a broadband internet business in a breach of rules. The deadline for paying the fine ended yesterday, according to Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission, but instead of paying, the operator challenged the move in a letter to the commission. A letter signed by Mahmud Hossain, chief corporate affairs officer at Grameenphone, said the notice did not provide any indication of how the BTRC determined the amount of fine. In the letter, Grameenphone denied any wrongdoing by providing broadband internet service. On November 6, BTRC asked Grameenphone to pay BDT 300.0 million in 10 days for providing broadband internet services under Go Broadband. BTRC also fined two ISP operators—ADN Telecom and AGNI Systems Ltd (ASL), partners of Grameenphone in GO Broadband—BDT 0.5 million each.
