Foyez Ahmad Tayyab, chief adviser to Bangladesh’s Post, Telecommunications, and IT Ministry, claims he is under attack by vested-interest mafias due to efforts to reform telecom licensing. He highlighted outdated license structures leading to corruption and revenue loss, and announced the draft Telecom Network and Licensing Reform Policy-2025 to modernize and deregulate the sector. Tayyab criticized previous governments for enabling cartel operations causing billions in revenue loss, and emphasized that ongoing reforms aim to protect SMEs and ensure transparency in telecom services.
