IPv6 and Digital Bangladesh: What ISPs or ISPAB are Doing?

2010-08-15T14:32:00.000-07:00

Recently an word 'Digital Bangladesh' a word (Actually a Phrase) is everybody's ear of Bangladeshi People. This Phrase was was in Election Manifesto of Current Government. Government and some of their near people is shouting Digital, Digital and Digital Bangladesh in almost every program. They are taking every measurement to make our Country towards Digitalizing of every process. This is a very good steps to make the country's economy / lifestyle high.

Internet play a very big role to develop a country. Currently Bangladesh is connected with Internet via a Submarine Cable & the protocol use to communicate via internet is 'IPv4', which is become 'finished'. So Internet Society start Develop a new Protocol name IPv6, which is currently almost production stage. All Traffic from or to Internet go through 2 International Internet Gateway (IIGW). Unfortunately none of this gateway support IPv6 yet and didn't have any plan to do so!(Giving this support is almost costless, no new hardware needed) Though they are not giving us support to connect to IPv6 Internet, we are currently using a technology called '6 over 4' tunnel.

Today, when I am writing this post, only 5% of IPv4 address in Global Internet remaining, including reserved and Unusable address click here to see a visual display of current status on Hurricane Electric IPv4 Exhaustion Counters HE.NET:

Recently only IX of Bangladesh, BDIX has started to take application for IPv6 peering and it is internal route in country only! Till now I found only one ISP is publicly offering IPv6 to it's customer for free. If you are offering IPv6 for your customer, please write a comments so that I can update the article.

BTCL Trying to Hide There Own Problem by Saying SEA-ME-WE4 Submarine Cable problem | Inside Bauani's Mind

BTCL Trying to Hide There Own Problem by Saying SEA-ME-WE4 Submarine Cable problem | Inside Bauani's Mind: "BTCL Trying to Hide There Own Problem by Saying SEA-ME-WE4 Submarine Cable problem"

From Yesterday Afternoon Internet Users of Bangladesh where suffering connectivity / speed problem which is still running. Most of Internet User in Bangladesh, Specially users in Dhaka are facing most slowest Internet service.

I myself is currently working for an ISP, which was disconnected from Internet Yesterday (1st Day of Bangla Year 1417). I had go there office, check everything and call BTCL to know what is going on. Unfortunately BTCL, Bangladesh Telephone Company Limited didn't provide any information about the problem. Latter, I got to know from other source that there was a Submarine Fibre Cable Called "SEA-ME-WE-4" (The South East Asia-Middle East-West Europe 4) Problem, which is totally wrong.

Officials of the Bangladesh Telecommunication Company Limited said Thursday that their subscribers will have less bandwidth due to a technical problem.

A high official of the BTCL's submarine cable project, on condition of anonymity, told bdnews24.com that a short circuit at the Italian landing station at Palermo has disconnected Bangladesh partially.

He said that BTCL was receiving only a portion of its regular bandwidth from Singapore leading to slow internet connection and in some cases no connection at all, for BTCL subscribers.

The official, also a top-ranking administrator of Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company, said he hoped that Bangladesh would get reconnected with Italy within a few days. -- Reported byBDNews24.Com, Bangladesh's first Internet Newspaper

A New ISP, named 'Dhaka Wireless', provide wireless Internet Connection in Dhaka, Bangladesh has changed their regular homepagewith a black and white page to protest this conspiracy of BTCL, the state own International Internet Gateway License Holder.

BTCL was connected with Internet via Seabone, has reported that there is no problem at there end. There is no fibre related issue, reported by Seabone and SEA-ME-WE-4 Control Center.

BTRC, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Board has issued 2 IIG (International Internet Gateway) License, one is BTCL, own by Government and Other is Mengo Telecom which is Privately Owned has no problem at all. ISP's connected with Mengo Telecom is getting there required bandwidth. Now the Question is Who is Doing What & The most unique is "Why"? At the time of Mengo Telecom Started, BTRC issued a letter to ALL ISP to Purchase at-least 40% of Total bandwidth from Mengo. Recently the rules has withdrawn.

2008-11-16T09:55:00.001-08:00

Broadband Solutions Ltd, an ISP of Bangladesh found to be indeed terminating calls illegally in Bangladesh.

KBps or Kbps, the confution and fact on ISP Industry of Bangladesh

2008-11-12T09:52:00.000-08:00

The Most Common Questing as Sales Person from Any ISP in Bangladesh get is "How Much Bandwidth I will get on your package?"

The sales person from any ISP receive this type of query is also become confused to answer this query. They even don't know the fact of Kbps or kbps themselves!!!

In Bangladesh Internet Service Industry, we locally call it "boro K" (Capital K) or "choto k" (Small k). Here "boro K" (Capital K) is used to refer as 'Kilo-Bytes-Per-Second' and "Choto k" (Small k ) is used to refer as "Kilo-Bits-Per-Second"!

This confusion raised as most of browser like Internet Explorer, FireFox or even Google Chrome show the transfer rate in disk storage method (Kilo Bytes Transferred / Time in Second). But in communication industry all of data transfer is quoted as 'Kilo Bits per Second". For general people, when any ISP quote their bandwidth with 'x Kbps', it come in mind that he/she will get that 'x' number in his/her browser, which is not true in a sense.

So my advice is for the ISP personal to use 'kilo bits per second' instate of 'kbps'.

This article is just to show the confusion between ISP and the User. I will write more on this term on a later article.

Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC)
