COAB's business
On 26th April, COAB took a harsh decision to keep cable service off in entire Bangladesh from 27th April evening to 28th April evening. During this period, most viewers missed foreign news channels and other nice things to remain current on happenings around. I do not know, if the information ministry has made the rules to protect subscribers' rights from COAB's arbitrary action . COAB's members regularly impose enhanced rates on subscribers.
It seems there is nobody to oversee COAB's business. To quote one, no action has been taken against the COAB member at Uttara who charges Tk 460.00 per month, while others charge Tk 300.00 for similar services. The whole thing must be brought under some kind of control or supervision.
