CHAPTER-1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
1.1 Introduction:
The first television signal broadcast in Bangladesh was in 1964 by the then state-owned
television network Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV). From then onwards Bangladesh
Television (BTV) had a virtual monopoly until the late 1990s. Since then a number of stations
have arrived. Many have also shut down in the process.
This is a list of television stations in Bangladesh available on digital terrestrial, satellite and
cable systems.
Satellite TV Channel was introduced in Bangladesh in the 1990s. On 29 September 1992, the
US television network CNN started relaying its transmission via satellite in Bangladesh for a
few hours everyday using the BTV channel. The same year, BBC started the same under
similar arrangements. Permission to use dish antennas for receiving satellite transmissions
directly by general users opened up new opportunities for the Bangladeshi viewers to see
programmes from the outside world. Between 1992-95, more than 10 foreign TV channels
entered Bangladeshi homes. Today, this number stands at more than 100.
The satellite television channels are now among the most popular means of entertainment for
the people. New channels introduced in 1992 in Bangladesh in addition to CNN and BBC were
basically those of the Star Television Network, Zee TV network, Indian TV and Pakistan TV.
Some early starters bought dish antennas for very high prices and installed them on their roofs.
Very soon, the innovative entrepreneurs, foreseeing a lucrative business, started operating
private cable networks, which mushroomed throughout the country. The number of channels
subscribed increased substantially in the major cities.
Private satellite TV channel of Bangladesh origin channel-1, ATN Bangla also went into
operation from the late nineties. NTV and Ekushay TV appeared with variety of news and
programme later became popular satellite TV channels. According to a survey conducted in
1998 by a Dhaka daily, ATN, BBC, Channel-V, CNN, DD-7, DD-Metro, Discovery, ESPN,
Prime Sports, Sony, Star TV Network (Star Movies, Star Plus, Star Sports), Zee TV and Zee
Cinema were among the most watched and most popular channels. CNN, TNT, MTV and
Cartoon Network were found to have a high viewing rate. Among the relatively new entrants,

Ekushey Television, ATN Bangla, Channel I, Star World, National Geographic, HBO, AXN
Action TV, and Alpha TV (now called Zee-Bangla) also made good impression among the
Bangladeshi viewers.
Ekushey Television was shut down during the rule of 4-Party alliance government
(2001-2006). Some new local private satellite channels were given permission to launch their
operations during this period. These included: RTV, Bangla Vision, Channel One, Boishakhi
Television and Diganta Television. Ekushey Television resumed its operation in 2007 during
the tenure of the caretaker government. The state-owned BTV also extended its transmission
worldwide by launching a satellite channel called 'BTV World'. Three private channels channel
One, Falgun Music and CSB news were shut down earlier. Desh TV, ATN News, Independent
TV, Samoy Sangbad, GTV, Bijoy TV, Independent TV, Channel 71, My TV, Islamic TV,
Machranga TV, Channel 24, Mohna TV, Channel 16 and Channel 9 are the latest notable
entrant in the field. Some other new private satellite TV channels are expected to go onair very
soon. According to a survey conducted in 2008, 68% Bangladeshi of over 15 years of age
watch satellite TV channels at least once in a week. The number of TV audience has increased
by 26% during the least ten years because of the massive expansion of local satellite TV
transmissions as well as cable network. Only 8% households of Bangladesh had TV sets in
1995, the figure has raised to 41% now and 42% TV sets have satellite antennas or cabel
connections. Earlier in 2006, the 'Cable TV Network Operation Act' was enacted to regulate the
activities of cable TV operators in Bangladesh. [Helal Uddin Ahmed]

Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and video content to a dispersed audience via any
audio or visual mass communications medium, but usually one using electromagnetic
radiation (radio waves). The receiving parties may include the general public or a relatively
large subset thereof. Broadcasting has been used for purposes of private
recreation, non-commercial exchange of messages, experimentation, self-training, news we
can know what is happening all around the world and emergency communication such as
popular radio or TV stations with advertisements.
Methods of broadcasting:
There are several methods used for broadcasting electronic media:
 Terrestrial Television Broadcasting
 Satellite Television Broadcasting
 FM Radio Broadcasting
 Community Radio Broadcasting

1. Terrestrial Television Broadcasting
Only Bangladesh Television (BTV) is being transmitted using terrestrial television
broadcasting technology. According ITU Regional Radiocommunication Conference 2006
(RRC 06) some member states have signed a treaty to switch off the analogue terrestrial
broadcasting by the year 2015. Among the signatories some countries have requested five more
years to switch off broadcasting in VHF band (174-230 MHz). Unfortunately Bangladesh has
not signed the agreement. According to the law of Bangladesh terrestrial television
broadcasting is reserved for BTV only. BTV is using 174-230 MHz spectrum in VHF band for
this transmission. In NFAP, 522-698 MHz spectrum is reserved for terrestrial television
broadcasting. As such, this spectrum can be allocated for digital terrestrial broadcasting in
future.
2. Satellite Television Broadcasting
The license of satellite television broadcasting is given from the Ministry of Information.
Spectrum is assigned from BTRC to those operators who have license to establish TV station.
So far 28 (twenty eight) satellite television channels have been assigned spectrum from BTRC.
These television channels are using 6, 9 or 12MHz uplink frequency from 5.85-6.425 GHz
band.
The satellite channels are playing a vital role in order to reach the news of Bangladesh and its
culture to the Bengali people residing in different corners of the world.
3. FM Radio Broadcasting:
The license of FM radio broadcasting is given from the Ministry of Information. According to
NFAP, frequency is assigned from BTRC to the licensee from 87.5 to 108 MHz.

Till 2013, licenses have been given to twelve organizations including state owned ‘Bangladesh
Betar’ for FM radio broadcasting. Each organization has been assigned 200 kHz of spectrum.
4. Community Radio Broadcasting
Bangladesh government has passed Community Radio Installation, Transmission and
Operation Guideline-2008 to provide information service to the people of specific locality. So
far, 14 organizations have been given licenses.
The output power of community radio transmitter is 100 watt and its coverage area is 17 KM.
In order to provide the distant population of the country with the benefit of community radio,
the policy to increase the output power of the transmitter from 100 watt to 250 watt is under
process. If the output power is increased the coverage area will also increase and more people
could be served with information. As community radio serves in a specific area, a plan has been
taken to cover the whole of Bangladesh under three spectrums, which are 98.40 MHz, 98.80
MHz and 99.20 MHz.
License Awarding:
At first, the license ofbroadcasting is given from the Ministry of Information (MoI). The
license of satellite television broadcasting is given from the Ministry of Information to
broadcast news and to make and export the video program/film.
The license of FM radio/Community radio broadcasting is given from the Ministry of
Information to establish and operate radio station under the private ownership.
After awarding license from MoI, licensee(s) shall have to apply for assigning frequency
and to import Earth Station and SNG/DSNG equipment to BTRC. After assigning
frequency to the licensee, the licensee will eligible to import radio equipments by getting
prior permission from BTRC.
Assignment Band:

Satellite Television: According to NFAP, frequency is assigned from BTRC to the
licensee, 6/9/12 MHz uplink frequency from 5.85-6.425GHz band.
FM/Community Radio: According to NFAP, frequency is assigned from BTRC to the
licensee from 87.5 to 108 MHz.

Background of Internet in Bangladesh:
Like many developed and developing countries, the Internet in Bangladesh has witnessed
significant growth. Although facing many constraints in expanding Internet access and use,
development of the Internet and Information Technology are high government priorities. In
December, 2017 Internet users in Bangladesh increased to 80.483 million.
Evolution
Starting in the early 1990s, Bangladesh had dialup access to e-mail using the Bulletin Board
Systems (BBSs) of a few local providers, but the number of users did not total more than 500.
Users were charged by the kilobyte and email was transferred from the BBS service providers
to the rest of the world by international dialup using UUCP.
In June 1996 the first VSAT base data circuit in the country was commissioned and
the Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (BTTB) granted licenses to two Internet
Service Providers (ISPs). In subsequent years more liberal government policies led to a rapid
expansion of the industry, resulting in over 180 registered ISP's by 2005. ISPs are currently

regulated by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) through
the Bangladesh Telecommunications Act.
In May 2006 Bangladesh inaugurated new submarine optic fiber connectivity as part of the 16
countryconsortium SEA-ME-WE4 project. The landing station is in Cox's Bazar, the southern
city near the Bay of Bengal. InJuly 2008 the Submarine Cable Project was transformed into the
company Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL), which is now responsible
for all services related to the submarine cable.
Between June and August 2012 international Internet service in Bangladesh was slowed
following a cable cut on the eastern leg of the SEA-ME-WE 4 optical fiber cable and the fact
that Bangladesh does not have an alternative submarine cable or other high-speed international
connections. In 2014 the new SEA-ME-WE 5 cable is expected to provide an alternative
operating at 100 Gbit/s, roughly 10 times faster than the current connection.
Usage
The number of Internet subscriptions in Bangladesh grew from 186,000 in 2000 to 617,300 in
2009. However, only 0.4% of the population used the Internet in 2009 giving Bangladesh one
of the lowest usage percentages in the world, ahead of only North Korea, Myanmar, and Sierra
Leone. This limited Internet penetration is due to many factors, including: unavailability in
rural areas, high costs, little local content, limited or poor service quality, lack of infrastructure
with the last mile often limited to dial-up, too many providers competing in a relatively small
market, and low literacy rates. By 2011 however, the number of Internet users in Bangladesh
had seen phenomenal growth of over 900% bringing the total number of users to 5,501,609
(3.5% of the total population) mainly due to wide availability of mobile Internet access.
In April 2010, Akhtaruzzaman Manju, president of Internet Service Providers' Association of
Bangladesh, said "we've estimated that nearly 10 million people in the country are using
800,000 Internet connections on sharing basis", adding the number of Internet users in the
country is increasing roughly 15-16 percent a year. "This increased Internet penetration will
result in a 2.6 per cent contribution to the country’s GDP by 2020, while creating 129 thousand
more jobs by the same year" the research added.
The main obstacle to using the Internet in Bangladesh is its distribution. The Internet is still
an urban privilege because telephone connections are more concentrated in urban areas,
particularly in and around Dhaka. Mobile operators are providing substantial services in and
outside urban areas using 3G/EDGE or WiMax.

However, recently Bangladesh has seen phenomenal growth in Internet usage. Due to
government various initiatives known as a2i project (open Hotspot zone, government offices
with internet facility, Reduce bandwidth price etc.) have impacted the growth of users. As of
December 2017, internet subscribers have reached 80.483 million users.
Service quality
The Internet’s speed in Bangladesh is not among the fastest in the world but it has significantly
developed in the recent past. As of July 2015, Bangladesh ranked 90th out of 198 countries on
the Household Download Index by Net Index.
Internet connectivity with acceptable quality and reliability is generally quite expensive in
Bangladesh. Since connecting to the SEA-ME-WE 4 cable in 2006, the country has seen
Internet bandwidth prices drop significantly. In 2008, the Bangladesh Telecommunication
RegulatoryCommission (BTRC) slashed wholesale Internet bandwidth prices drastically, from
BDT 80,000 (approximately US$1,125) per Mbit/s to BDT 18,000 (approximately US$250)
per Mbit/s. In 2009, after complaints that retail prices were still too high for slow, unreliable
connections, the BTRC indicated that they were going to begin monitoring ISPs to ensure that
retail prices reflected the reduced wholesale prices.
The government sees information and communication technologies (ICTs) as a key driver of
socioeconomic development. This is reflected in the government's "Digital Bangladesh" plan
as well as the National Information and Communication Technology Policy. Bangladesh is
slowly moving up in the worldwide ICT rankings, rising from 130th in 2009 to 113th in2012 in
the "networked readiness index". But, while its ITC ranking has improved, Bangladesh still
lags behind other low-income countries of its stature. Progress is limited due to deficiencies in
the regulatory framework and infrastructure development. And ICT leaders are concerned that
the annual budget does not support the government's ICT goals.
Internet services
National Internet Exchanges (NIXs) and International Internet Gateways (IIGs)
All ISPs and equivalent service providers in Bangladesh exchange traffic via two systems, the
National Internet Exchange (NIX) and International Internet Gateways (IIGs). The IIGs
provide global Internet connectivity, while all domestic Internet traffic is routed via the NIX to
minimize usage of international bandwidth. The NIX consists of two exchange points known
as the Bangladesh Internet Exchange (BDIX) established in August 2004 and operated by the

Sustainable Development Networking Programme and the Peering Society of Bangladesh and
the Bangladesh Society of Internet Exchange (BSIX) established in May 2004. In June 2012
the BTRC announced plans to issue an unrestricted number of additional NIX licenses. There
are two IIGs in service operated by, Mango Teleservices Limited and the government
owned Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL).
There are concerns that, with a limited number of NIX operators, only two IIG operators, and
with BSCCL holding a monopoly as the only operator of the SEA-ME-WE fiber optic cables,
limited competition will keep the cost of raw bandwidth high.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
In 2005 there were more than 180 ISPs operating in the country. ISP's are regulated by the
BTRC. In 2016, there were 119 licensed ISPs providing services nationwide and 65 ISPs
providing services in the central zone.
Mobile operators
Main article: Telecommunications in Bangladesh
Because fixed line penetration rates are and are expected to remain low, most Bangladeshis'
first experience with the Internet is likely to be via mobile services. An estimated 90% of
Bangladesh's Internet users got their access using mobile services in 2010. Out of the Four
mobile operators, Teletalk, Grameenphone, Robi, & Banglalink offer 3G, 4G services in 64
districts of Bangladesh, others offer 3G, 4G Internet service on some specific areas
and EDGE or GPRS GSM Internet service on rest of the areas. Operators are working on
expanding their 3G, 4G services on all areas. The sole CDMA operator, Citycell,
offers EVDO. Airtel Bangladesh merged with Robi.
Broadband
Broadband Internet and e-commerce in Bangladesh is slowly progressing. In 2009 there were
50,000 fixed broadband Internet subscribers. However, In March 2016 there are currently
3.112 million ISP/PSTN users. Though broadband Internet access is available, the charges for
high speed connections are higher than in other south Asian countries, though this is changing.
In Bangladesh Broadband is legally defined as 128/128 kbit/s, which is not in line with
the ITU's definition and many broadband Internet services may not be considered true
broadband internationally.

WiMAX
Three companies, BanglaLion Communications Ltd., Brac Bdmail Network Ltd., and Augere
Wireless Broadband Bangladesh Ltd., won licenses to operate WiMAX in Bangladesh in
September 2008. The three firms purchased the licenses at auction for 2.15
billion BDT (US$31 million) from the BTRC under an agreement that pays 27.50% of revenue
to the government. Brac Bdmail declined to start the service. BanglaLion and Augere (branded
as Qubee) launched commercial WiMax services by the end of 2009.
From October 2011 Access Telecom (BD) Ltd. and Tackyon started giving fixed WiMax
services to their clients.
Cyber cafés and Local Service Providers (LSPs)
Expensive and slow connections available from individual homes has created a demand
for cyber cafés with higher than average bandwidth. The number of cyber cafés was estimated
to be roughly 800 in 2009, unchanged from 2005. Cyber cafés were first regulated by the
BTRC in 2009, but fewer than 150 had obtained the required license by the end of 2011.
Many cyber cafés have expanded as Local Service Providers (LSPs) as a way to make use of
their idle (out of business hours) bandwidth. Because the root problem of scarce bandwidth
remains, LSP subscribers continue to suffer from slow connections and inadequate bandwidth
(96-128 kbit/s on average). A general complaint of customers and internet users is that such
subscriptions are good for nothing except for surfing rich-text and images over the web. The
younger internet users in the urban areas have started to familiarize themselves withother more
data demanding internet applications and usage. But streaming applications fail to work over
low bandwidth. Games, voice, video-conferencing and the like also suffer from latency issues.
Further, these LSPs are known to forcefully cache web resources (transparent proxies) and to
aggressively block traffic related to the following applications in order to save bandwidth:
Windows update, TeamViewer and similar remote assistance applications, Torrent trackers
and other P2P ports/patterns, voice/video applications which mostly make use of P2P
architecture, online gaming and just about anything else except WWW. Some LSPs generally
block all ports except HTTP/HTTPS. Bandwidth/latency benchmarking sites including
SpeedTest.net are blocked to stop customers from complaining about their share of bandwidth.
Despite these limitations, LSPs succeed by keeping the majority of the customers happy with
local FTP servers, mostly filled with unlicensed movies, software, games and TV shows.
Internet censorship and surveillance

The OpenNet Initiative found little or no evidence of filtering in 2011.
Although Internet access in Bangladesh is not restricted by a national level filtering regime, the
state has intervened to block Web sites for hosting anti-Islamic content and content deemed
subversive. Internet content is regulated by existing legal frameworks that restrict material
deemed defamatory or offensive, as well as content that might challenge law and order.
The Bangla blogging platform Sachalayatan was reported to be inaccessible on 15 July 2008,
and was forced to migrate to a new IP address. Although the blocking was not officially
confirmed, Sachalayatan was likely Bangladesh’s inaugural filtering event. YouTube was
blocked for a few days in March 2009 in order to protect the "national interest". The disputed
video covered a partial audio recording of a meeting between the prime minister and military
officials, who were angry at the government’s handling of a mutiny by border guards in Dhaka
that left more than seventy people dead.
Facebook was blocked by the BTRC for 7 days startingon29 May2010 because of "obnoxious
images", including depictions of Mohammed and several of the country's political officials as
well as links to pornographic sites. The block was lifted after Facebook agreed to remove the
offensive content. During the same period a 30-year-old man was arrested in the Bangladeshi
capital on charges of uploading satiric images of some political leaders on Facebook.
The BTRC again blocked YouTube access in September 2012 after Google, Inc. ignored
requests to remove the controversial film, Innocence of Muslims, from the site.
On16 May2013 BTRC asked the international internet gatewayoperators to reduce the upload
bandwidth of ISPs by 75% in an effort to prevent illegal VoIP. There is speculation that the
bandwidth reduction is actually an effort to make it difficult for people to upload ‘problematic’
videos, images, TV talk show clips, etc. in the social media.
In November and December 2015, the government blocked Facebook and other social media,
for a period of twenty-two days. The purpose was to quell militant violence and opposition
unrest as reactions to a deathpenalty to two opposition leaders, Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury
and Ali Ahsan Mujahid, for war crimes committed in the 1971 independence war.

The top-level domain for Bangladesh is '.bd' .
1.2 Objective of the study:
Our main objective is to focus on understanding the impacts of Satellite T.V. Channels and Internet
on our culture mainly from the student’s point of view. Generally it means the exposure to foreign

culture, fashion awareness, brand preference, tendencyof indecent dresses etc.
The main objectives involved in this study are given below:
 To know the impact of Satellite Channels and Internet.
 To know the most preferable Satellite Channels.
 To know the preference of time of watching T.V. and using Internet.
 To know the popular social networks.
To detect the preferable device to use Internet.
 To know the preferable browser.
Views to the Satellite T.V. Channels and Internet.
1.3 Organization of the study:
The work was organized under the assistance of my respected project supervisor, Department Of
Statistics, University Of Chittagong. My teacher had given intensive instructions for this study. This
instruction included objective of the study, detail procedure of the field work, filling and preparation
of the Questionnaire, preparation of reports, limitation etc. I collect the information personally from
two colleges and three schools from the Chittagong Metropolitan Area. For this I was able to collect
the data without difficulty within suitable period. In conclusion, it must be asserted that the whole
progress of work was the result of sincere efforts of a well co-operationofsupervisor and me.
1.4 Limitations of the study:
Every project work has some inherent limitation, which should be pointed out by the concerned
authority. Since survey work is done on part of population for saving cost and time, hence the
result is generally expected to affect by in addition to some hidden errors. In the period of
interviewing some of the respondent s may not provide me with the actual information which
may inhibit having the proper work. In addition to this, some of the respondents are not well
aware ofSatellite T.V. and internet . This is the main limitationas theycouldn’t give the proper
information.
In such circumstances, I tried of my best to collect actual information from the students by
describing them the background of the study.

CHAPTER-2
DATA AND METHODOLOGY
Data collection and methodology is the most important part in any study like project work,
Research work, Thesis work etc. Survey methods have its advantages over other method and it
involves shorter time and also it offers similar scope as the case of study method in collecting
primary data. So to provide a clear picture on such aspects, selection of area and frame,
collection of data, preparation of questionnaire, sample selection, tabulation and analytical
methods etc. are briefly discussed in this chapter.
It is essential to select the area where the particular purpose set for study can be fulfilled. In the
present study, I have selected the Chittagong Metropolitan Area.
In conducting any survey it is necessary to define the population clearly. Otherwise, the whole
purpose of the survey will be defeated. The population to be sampled is largely determined by
objectives of the survey. From the objectives, I can easily observe that students ages from
(15-18) of Chittagong Metropolitan Area are my population and I select sample from them.
The questionnaire is prepared by me. This questionnaire is finalized in the light of my
supervisor for the collection of information relevant to the survey. The questionnaire contained
mostly closed question and attempt was made to include indirect question. The questionnaire
was designed in such a way that maximum information maybe obtained within short time. The
language of the questionnaire was in Bengali so that students can understand it properly.
In this study, I adopt unrestricted purposive sampling procedure. The word unrestricted is used
because the whole sample is included randomly. The sample is drawn by purposively
considering time, cost and labor. The selected sample size is 200. The data obtained from
students on various aspects were tabulated according to needs. Then, the data was checked in
order to process and analysis by using different Statistical methods (S.P.S.S. = Statistical
package for Social Science). The result of analysis and findings have been arranged separately
and all the works were presented systematically in the form of our study. Finally, the report is
prepared under the advice and guidance of my honourable project supervisor. After that I have
done calculations and made conclusion about the study.
