Sheba project
Please refer to the DS news item (26.07.05) "Sheba Phone to launch wireless fixed phones in rural areas by December." Being a retired Telecom Engineer working for more then thirty five yeas, this came as a big surprise not because of the project itself but because of the motive to uplift the socio-economic condition of the rural masses of Bangladesh. Most of the telecom operators have taken the licence with the basic idea of doing a profitable business but "Sheba Phone" clearly shows it is a service oriented project.
I will strongly recommend the government and various departments to assist the organisation in fulfilling its dreams.
