Bangladesh may be the regional center of the Internet

A month ago Internet services were disrupted a bit for the maintenance of Fiber Optic Submarine Cable. During this time, many popular websites, which are largely kept out (hosted) outside of Bangladesh, may be seen slightly slow while using them. Recently, during the admission process of Dhaka University, the temporary obstruction of the website created some disadvantage for the admissioned students. These experiences are nothing new. On the day of public examinations (SSC and HSC) results published on the website of the education boards, such problems existed on the website of ticket sales before the Bangladesh Cricket team match.

Why can this type of problem be a website? Simply put, a web server (where the website is kept) has the ability to take certain capacities or maximum hits (number of viewing pages). If the user hits Hit Count at peak times, then there may be some problems (slow, unloaded, or complete website stagnation) on that website. Just after the results of the US presidential election last year, Canada’s immigration website was stuck. Because, at that time, more than ten times users were trying to enter the normal time.

The world’s most popular websites Google, YouTube and Facebook are using hundreds of people every day These sites are running continuously through a wide range of data centers around the world. These are primarily cloud-based services, where no content or content is available only on a specific server or a data center. Rather, the content is being saved and run through various server-data centers. From the Facebook server given to the mobile operator in Bangladesh, it can come as a picture or image you see on your Facebook profile via mobile phone-based internet. The server can be in Mumbai or Singapore. That means when Facebook is watching a photo or video, Facebook can show you from one of the data centers. This is a great advantage of cloud-based online services

Let’s compare the product with the normal process of production and sale. Where the product is being made, it is usually available at the cheapest price and faster The same applies to online content. If the website you are viewing or the file you are filing in is in a dataset contained within Bangladesh, it will load slightly faster.

From the overall perspective, quality cloud hosting can be the best solution within the country. Many local institutions now offer such services. It is necessary to encourage those institutions, such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, which are the most popular among the organizations, to encourage Bangladesh to establish a full-fledged data center. Because their data centers around the world have been created in a limited number of places (such as location of these data centers in Singapore and Mumbai mainly for South and South-East Asia).

In this case first consideration is the demand of the market, which is constantly growing in Bangladesh. Demand for Bangladesh’s data or Internet content is increasing rapidly due to population growth, increasing economic growth and progress in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sectors. According to GSMA Intelligence Report statistics, by the year 2020, internet usage rate, mobile phone usage or smartphone usage – in all cases, Bangladesh is among the top 10 countries.

Another important thing is that it is possible to meet the needs of the entire region (Bhutan, Nepal and Northeast India) through the Data Centers established in Bangladesh. Geo-location and data connectivity with neighboring countries have created a unique opportunity for us in this regard. Likewise the internet connection has become our source of income. Bangladesh is currently exporting bandwidth in Bhutan and India Tripura state, Nepal can be added to this list very soon. If content is transmitted through the current bandwidth, it can be hosted partially in Bangladesh, but Internet users in neighboring countries can get some quick content.

Through the Second Submarine Cable, Bangladesh is now more closely connected to the global network. In short, it is possible to establish Bangladesh as a regional center of the Internet by establishing the local content development industry and setting up data center of leading global organizations.
