The speaker shared his valuable experience on the comparison between supply of internet service and customer demand in the current context of Bangladesh. The respected speaker stated that, a good number of investors started business in a small scale by taking advantages of the E-commerce and F-commerce concept during the covid-19 pandemic situation. There are more than a thousand of E-commerce sites and 8,000 E-commerce pages on Facebook at present and it is increasing day by day. He also highlighted that about 55% of the students have devices to attend online classes and whereas only 45 percent of them have access to the internet facilities. Hence, there is a huge gap yet to be met in this arena. Eventually, ISPs would have to dig trenches and lay cable lines throughout the country to enable students to be connected to the online classes. The speaker portrayed a clear picture for students to understand the method of achieving a win/win situation for both - internet users and ISPs.
