The telecom regulator yesterday cancelled licences of 30 internet
service providers after they failed to pay fees for renewal in time.
Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission directed the ISPs to pay their dues to the commission in 10 days or be punished under the Telecommunication Act 2001.
These licenses were issued between June 2008 and March 2010, the regulator said in a notice.
The ISPs have clearly violated the law by continuing to operate without valid licences, according to the notice.
Earlier on June 29, BTRC warned 17 VSAT licence holders, including some foreign embassies in Dhaka, for not renewing their licenses in time.
