Mobile Connectivity Index: Bangladesh scores lowest among most improved Asia Pacific countries
Currently, mobile phone and Internet subscribers total 161.77 million and 96.199 million, respectively, in Bangladesh
Bangladesh hits the bottom of Mobile Connectivity Index in the “most improved countries in the Asia Pacific” category.
The country made progress of 3.4 points compared to that in 2016, thanks to increased uploading speeds and bandwidth use, says a study of GSMA Intelligence, a research platform.
Uploading speeds almost doubled and international bandwidth per user increased by a third during this time. Mobile app development rose significantly, too.
