Fayez Ahmed Tayyeb has accused the ruling Awami League of destabilizing the telecommunications sector by issuing over 3,400 licenses during its tenure. He claims this created unnecessary bureaucratic layers and fostered a "toll collection culture," eroding trust in the ecosystem. "Unless license holders compromise their own interests and reach internal consensus, even the best government policy will fail," he said. Tayyeb further argued that allowing new entrants with just BDT 500 crore in investment, against an existing BDT 50,000 crore ecosystem, cannot be considered fair competition.
