Skype communication remains suspended across country

All kinds of services of telecommunication application Skype have remained suspended across the country since Monday morning.

Many Skype users claimed that they could not use the communication tool since morning, reports UNB.

Emdadul Haque, secretary general of Internet Service Providers Association of Bangladesh (ISPAB), said that they have received a letter from the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC).

The BTRC instructed them to keep all kinds of communication from home and abroad via Skype suspended.

Several international internet gateway (IIG) service providers said they also received the letter on Sunday night.

However, acting BTRC chairman Jahurul Haque said there was no instruction from the telecom regulator about blocking Skype.

He said there might be up and down in the service somewhere following a technical problem.
