5G
5g is not only about IoT and AI or automotion needs far greater speed than 5g to be of any real use....
However importance of 5g can not be understated..... in a post corona world i see schools collages providing education over the net. I see doctors/solicitors/accountants/banking/tax and other government services all getting delivered remotely but also with a personal touch.
Where it comes to communication we must never delay.... always be there at the forefront....the dividends are always greater than the investment.
First we need to fix 4G coverage, you have to look at things objectively, mobile internet coverage is horrendous outside the cities.
If you're talking about broadband connections unless you're in Dhaka or Chittagong kiss goodbye to high speed fibre optic internet at competitive rates.
Bangladesh can get 5G after they fully implement 4G, I see operators keep begging BRTC for extra spectrums to boost signals, but to no avail.
The system is inherently flawed, what will you do with 5G, when the regulatory board is hell bent on keeping mobile connectivity in Bangladesh at 2000 levels.
We need to improve 4G speeds by approving the operators request for more spectrums, incentivise the setting up of more cell towers in all areas of Bangladesh not just the cities, thereby ensuring fast and efficient 4G network coverage all over Bangladesh.
Then and only then does 5G come into play, go up from the bottom not the other way around.
5G is another election manifesto pipedream that BAL floated back in 2018, I'm sorry, I'm not going to back them when they want to spend millions to implement 5G when it will yield fck all and whilst having piss poor 4G connectivity.
Step by step we go, 5G isn't for us, not for the time being, I can see it being a thing post 2025, If we can improve our 4G connectivity during that time period.
We should really stop implementing projects in Bangladesh just for the sake of implementing X and Y project costing $Z,zzz,zzz....
There are a lot of projects that are simply unnecessary at this time for example Dhaka Chittagong Bullet train, when we don't even have high speed trains in BD over 90 KM/h.... (This project is atleast a decade ahead of its time realistically speaking, who will pay 2,000 taka to get from Dhaka to Chittagong ?)
And this 5G project is the crème de la crème of such showpiece, vote pandering projects.
