    Egypt, ("oth"); the ultimate parent company of the group is vimpelcom, the 6th largest mobile phone

    operator in the world. Banglalink was acquired by oth in 2004, and after a complete overhaul and the

    deployment of a new gsm network, its telecommunication services were re-launched under the brand name

    banglalink. When banglalink began operations in Bangladesh in February 2005, its impact was felt

    immediately: overnight mobile telephony became an affordable option for customers across a wide range

    of market segments.

    Banglalinks success was based on a simple mission: "bringing mobile telephony to the masses" which was

  • 7/31/2019 Service Quality of Customer Care Center of Telecommunication Sector

    9/33

    the cornerstone of its strategy. Banglalink changed the mobile phone status from luxury to a necessity and

    brought mobile telephone to the general people of Bangladesh and made a place in their hearts. the mobile

    phone has become the symbol for the positive change in Bangladesh.

    This positive change that is quite correctly attributed to banglalink has become the corporate positioning of

    banglalink and is translated in their slogan "making a difference" or "din bodol". "Making a difference" notonly in the telecom industry, but also through its products and services, to the lives of its customers. This

    corporate stance of "making a difference" has been reflected in everything banglalink does. Banglalink

    attained 1 million subscribers by December 2005 and 3 million subscribers in October 2006. in less than

    two years which is by December 2007, banglalink overtook aktel to become the second largest operator in

    Bangladesh with more than 7.1 million customers. Banglalink currently has 20.05million subscribers as of

    April 2011, representing a market share of 27.03%

    Nokia-Siemens network & Hawaii provides technological support to banglalink. The tower range of

    banglalink exists 5-9 km. in case sometime it varies to about 13-15 km. The technology used by banglalink

    is 1G (First Generation) which is supportable to 2G (Second Generation). Banglalink also has 1500 km. of

    Fiber Optic cable which gives the surety of good network. During the occasional periods banglalink

    ensures much better service than the other operators.

    growth over the last years have been fuelled with innovative products and services targeting different

    market segments, aggressive improvement of network quality and dedicated customer care, creating an

    extensive distribution network across the country, and establishing a strong brand that emotionally

    connected customers with banglalink.
