INTERNET is becoming increasingly popular in our country and around the globe. But there remain some small obstructions due to which majority of our people are not being able to use it. High price and limited validity period are some of the difficulties that stand on its way. At present, the mobile service providers allow validity for 7, 15 and 30 days at the most which are often not enough to use a package completely.
I personally think that the validity period of internet packages should be extended to 30, 60 and 90 days depending on the packages so that more and more people can join the digital revolution. Now the number of internet users is close to 21.5 million and I am sure it will increase overnight if the price of internet is lowered.
Computer, internet and Smartphones are no longer luxury items; rather these are necessities of modern life. These are facilitators of cheap and smooth communication. Internet technology was instrumental for many people in our country to come out of abject poverty. Most of the common people now realise the importance of mobile technology and wonder gadgets of science. I hope, the Bangladesh government will appreciate the importance of internet for the common people and take immediate steps to instruct all internet service providers to raise validity of all internet packages
