The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission has cancelled the licences of 124 VoIP service providers which failed to pay government dues.
In a notice on August 5, the telecom regulator said that 106 VSPs failed to pay their dues while 18 others did not apply for renewal properly.
BTRC also asked the VSPs to clear their dues within one month, otherwise, the regulator would file cases to realize the dues under the Bangladesh Telecommunication Act-2001 and Public Demand Recovery Act, 1913, said the notice.
The government in January 2013 issued 844 VSP licences in a bid to discourage illegal VoIP business.
