The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission has awarded two National Internet Exchange licences for the first time to route domestic internet traffic. BTRC chairman Sunil Kanti Bose on Wednesday handed over the licences to Bangladesh Internet Exchange Trust and Novocom at BTRC, said a news release. Novocom managing director Syed Moinul Haque and BDIX general secretary M Asaduzzaman received the licences.
The NIX will facilitate local content development, encourage local web hosting and reduce latency in domestic traffic and thereby saving international bandwidth and foreign currency.
