27-04-2007  For Wicket, Lotus and other PPS cards, Bangladesh rate has changed:

This is a part of the letter that we have received for PPS card distributor:

Hi Everyone,
The new rates across the cards will offer users 100mins to landline and 50 mins to mobile on a $10 card. Unfortunately this is the best we can get while keeping decent quality. I hope most people will accept that they got a great bargain in the last few months and that know we will be charging a rate that is closer to what the market charges.
All these changes are due to the Bangladeshi governments’ decision to protect the Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board by terminating non-state owned telecommunications companies licences causing calls into Bangladesh to experience considerable congestion. As a result of the lack of competition stemming from this decision prices charged by wholesale providers have increased substantially. We therefore have no option but to pass these increased costs onto our customers.
See the article on the link below for a news story covering all this…..
