Dr. A.B.M. Siddique Hossain, Professor and Dean, Faculty of Science,

If man has to get along well with his fellow men, if business has to thrive, if society has to exist in harmony, if nations have to co-exist and co-operate, there must be adequate telecommunications and the internet facilities between elements of the society whose interdependent needs have to be met.
