Abstract

The bull’s eye of Bangladesh has to achieve the millennium development goal and to adapt the globalization, necessitate pursuing the development. Information is playing a driven force in development. As a developing country, Bangladesh has taken keen initiatives to develop its sustainable information infrastructure. Teledensity and overall IT infrastructure is now in a growing stage. Recently, Bangladesh was connected with SEA-ME-WE-4 submarine cable, establishing an optical fiber backbone; its teledensity is changing in rapid pace. But the broadband diffusion in Bangladesh is not on par with other Asian countries, as it is in an embryonic stage in broadband diffusion. This chapter, therefore, tries to show the initiatives taken and the existing condition of Bangladesh to fetch the countrywide broadband diffusion. Efforts have been made in this chapter to unmask the overall development of ICT infrastructure in Bangladesh, so to judge the environment of broadband diffusion in the country.
