Facebook got its website facebook.com registered in Bangladesh by the Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks in January 2010. Shamsul applied for the domain facebook.com.bd and got it cleared by Bangladesh Telecommunication Company Limited the same year. The facebook.com.bd website was activated in December 2008, according to the BTCL website. Facebook authorities sent a legal notice when facebook.com.bd was put up for sale at $6 million. SM Arifur Rahman, a lawyer for Facebook, said they started the case as the .bd website was not taken down following its warning.
