Shahed Alam, corporate director and regulator at Robi Axiata, a mobile phone operator, told Prothom Alo: “Corona has revolutionized the use of mobile internet. As we can see, many new Internet users are joining us recently. Once again, there are many customers who used to use the Internet irregularly, now they use much more. In general, there has been a change in the use of the Internet by people, which is increasing the number of users.
The growth of mobile broadband Internet subscribers also shows a positive trend. In March, there were 60 lakh 70 thousand broadband subscribers in the country. Now there are more than four and a half million.
Emdadul Haque, General Secretary of the Internet Service Providers Association of Bangladesh (ISPAB), an organization of broadband Internet service providers, told Prothom Alo that the reason for the increase in Internet subscribers is that you cannot do a lot without this service. Students study online. Many work from home via the Internet. The number of women subscribing to the Internet has increased a lot.

In March, there were 16 crore 53 lakh of mobile phone subscribers in the country. At the end of June, it was reduced to 4 million. Mobile phone subscribers have been on the rise since July.
