Bangladesh is going to be connected with a third submarine cable to meet the rapidly growing demand for internet bandwidth and ensure uninterrupted broadband internet services.

It will need to spend Tk 693 crore to get linked with the third submarine cable. Of the amount, Tk 392 crore will come from government funds and the rest from Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Ltd (BSCCL), planning ministry officials told The Daily Star.

The Posts and Telecommunications Division is expected to place the project proposal at the weekly meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec) today for approval, they said.
