Posts and Telecommunications Minister Mustafa Jabbar said the government is fully prepared to provide 5G services to customers.

The minister was speaking as the chief guest at a webinar meeting on the role of telecommunication in accelerating the Digital Bangladesh program jointly organized by CTO Forum Bangladesh and mobile operators' association Amtob in Dhaka on Saturday (November 21).

He said, ‘Telecommunication is the highway of digital Bangladesh.

In the days to come, this digital highway will be the center of all prosperity. '

At that time, the minister said, "We are fully prepared for 5G. However, I urge the mobile network operators to play a strong role in expanding 4G as a baseline of digital connectivity to meet the existing needs of the people.
