BTCL rules out Joy's involvement
Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) yesterday outright rejected the allegation of involvement of Sajib Wazed Joy, son of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in illegal Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) business.
"Such allegation against him is completely baseless and false," BTCL chairman ASM Khabiruzzaman told BSS, expressing his utter surprise on how the opposition chief whip has got the imaginary information.
He challenged the statement of Opposition Chief Whip Zainul Abdin Farroque and said neither BTCL nor TeleTalk had ever been involved in VoIP, which is illegal in Bangladesh.
He said the present government has reduced the incoming call rate to $.03 from $.04 and the VoIP would not exist if the rate is reduced further to 1.5 cent.
In this context, he said India charges 1 cent per call and there is no VoIP, while Pakistan has such problem because of high rate for international incoming calls.
