Countrywide connectivity with high-speed internet and networking facilities is one of the top priorities of the government. That is why the Bangabandhu Satelite-1 was launched which has already started functioning. What is impressive is that many people have already started availing the services of the BS-1. Moreover, 28 hi-tech parks around the country are being developed, with a plan to expand the facility to other districts soon. It is evident that with such keen focus on digital
development of the country, it will not take too long for the nation to see the fulfilment of the vision of Bangladesh to be transformed into a country of digital economy
