Bangladesh has successfully launched a new phase of its Digital Bangladesh Vision, bringing internet access to 12 previously unconnected islands using satellite technology. The project was implemented through a public-private partnership and will support education, telemedicine, and e-commerce.
The government has prioritized digital inclusion, especially in disaster-prone coastal regions. Local businesses are expected to benefit significantly from the new infrastructure.
The initiative mirrors similar connectivity efforts in India’s Andaman Islands and Nepal’s mountain villages, where remote digital access is transforming lives.
