Bangladesh Title: E-village communities Proposer: Mr. Hasanur Rahman, Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Science and Information & Communication Technology Country: Bangladesh Date: March 2005 I. INTRODUCTION Information and knowledge are prerequisites for development. Access to information and knowledge strengthens civil society, and leads to poverty reduction by allowing individuals and communities to expand their choices. Information and knowledge is linked to financially viable markets and income generating opportunities, or availability of government services, education, and skills development programmes. In addition, recognition and dissemination of indigenous knowledge, especially that of women, can contribute to development, competitiveness, and productivity. Knowledge empowers people and provides them with the opportunity to make informed choices. One of the significant challenges to ICT expansion is the spontaneous participation of rural people in electronic village communities. Approximately 80 per cent of the total population of Bangladesh lives in poor rural areas where access to ICT is limited. Lack of information about the market and agricultural production affects the farmers’ potential earnings. ICT enabled services could be employed to disseminate the necessary information and help rural communities to better confront development challenges. Among the various models of e-community centres including civic telecommunication centres, telecommunication centre franchises, phone shops, and multipurpose community telecentre, public telephone shops are common in Bangladesh. Telephone, fax, e-mail and Internet service centres are in operation in some urban areas of Bangladesh. The number of such centres is rapidly growing, which in turn promotes ICT usage, and local and foreign entrepreneurship. Grameen Phone and other mobile phone companies have expanded their telephone services to the majority of villages in Bangladesh. However, rural areas still lack ICT-enabled service and the proper ICT infrastructure. Bangladesh has service centres for telecommunications in 64 districts and 464 sub-districts. The number of fixed line telephones is 0.83 million, and the number of mobile telephones is about 3 million. There are 4 Ground Satellite Stations, 2 International Trunk Exchange, 80,000 ISP subscribers, and 145 ISPs. There are 67 VSAT users, and 27 VSAT providers. There are 0.50 million PCs, and approximately 0.082million internet connections. A fiber optic submarine cable network is expected to be available next year. 91
