DHAKA: Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has asked Internet Service Providers (ISP) to ensure superfast internet of 1 MBPS speed across the country.

Joy, also ICT affairs adviser to the premier, came up with the plea while talking to the ISPs in a view-exchange meeting at Gonobhaban on Monday.

He said the government has been changing the policy to increase the speed and decrease the price of internet removing the barriers in this sector.

The government has been working to reach the broadband internet service to the Union Parishad, he added.

Addressing the providers, Joy said the internet service system in Bangladesh is very weak than other countries. So we should overcome the flaws in infrastructure as early as possible.
