The Internet Service Providers Association of Bangladesh (ISPAB) and Cable Operators Association of Bangladesh (COAB) has warned of shutting down internet connectivity and cable TV from October 18 if the overhead cable removal drive continues.
They announced deactivating their services from 10:00am until 1:00pm every day, for all residential and commercial connections.
The announcement was made at a press conference at the National Press Club organised by both the organisations on Monday.
During the press conference, they also stated that Dhaka South City Corporation’s (DSCC) recent drive to remove illegal overhead cable connections without setting up the underground cable management system had forced them to incur an estimated loss of Tk20 crore in August and September.
