Bangladesh is building a link to sell 100 GB/s bandwidth to Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam, and talks are on with India to connect Bhutan to a 2.5 GB/s line. Bangladesh gets 300 GB/s bandwidth from the 19,000km long SEA-ME-WE-4 cable that connects a large area along the southern edge of the continent. Meanwhile Bangladesh exports 10 GB/s bandwidth to Tripura. Bhutan initially wants 2.5 GB/s bandwidth, which might increase later. Currently Bangladesh charges India $10,000 per GB/s, and India wants this to be lowered to less than $9,000.
