“We have already sought ministry approval for single licensing system for mobile operators,” BTRC Chairman Jahirul Haque told Dhaka Tribune on Sunday. He said introduction of single licensing system would reduce hassle for all related parties. Under the proposed licensing guidelines, mobile phone operators will be allowed to provide nine types of services including 2G, 3G, and 4G cellular mobile phone services. “We welcome BTRC's initiative of combining the licensing guidelines and have submitted our observations earlier to the regulator. In June last year, BTRC initiated the move for unified licensing for the mobile phone companies and prepared the draft guideline in August this year.
