Mobile Phone Consumers' Association calls Ookla, OpenSignal reports on Bangladesh dubious
The Bangladesh Mobile Phone Consumers' Association (BMPCA) has questioned the methodology and validity of OoKLA "Speedtest," and OpenSignal "Mobile Network Experience" reports on Bangladesh's telecom sector.
Sunday, at a press conference in Dhaka's Segunbagicha, BMPCA President Mohiuddin Ahmed said according to an Ookla analysis from the previous year, Bangladesh ranked 137th out of 139 nations in terms of mobile internet speed.
"On June 25, the telecom regulator placed an indefinite suspension on the SIM card sale of Grameenphone for the operator's failure to provide quality service. But Grameenphone and Banglalink were named the top mobile operators of the country in a report released two days ago by OpenSignal," he added.

Tanvir Hassan Zoha, an advisor of BMPCA, said none of the reports are accurate.
He added: "They claimed that they had obtained consumer information from YouTube or Facebook, which is unacceptable given that the platforms never disclose user data to third parties. So, if they gained access to the customer's devices and took samples, they broke the law and violated data privacy."
"Also, it is important to look into whether these organisations are using malware on BTS towers to acquire data from people in other countries."

Though the contribution of the SMEs to GDP is 25 percent , their share of bank and NBFI portfolio is much less.
Although SMEs account for more than 98 percent of non-farm enterprises in the country and bank lending to SMEs has tripled between 2010 and 2016, the large majority of MSMEs have limited access to formal finance. According to World Bank Group, the country’s SME sector suffers from a financing gap of Tk 237 billion (US$2.8 billion), across 804,041 SME enterprises where 60 per cent of women SMEs financing needs are unmet.

Income Opportunities for Globetrotters: How to make money and travel
Many people cherish the dream of trotting across the world and exploring new cultures, heritage, and people. But that’s easier said than to do. The main constraint to a travelling lifestyle is money. Without a 9 to 5 job, it often becomes difficult to finance global explorations. Don't worry! There are multiple income streams for globetrotters. Travellers can make comfortable earning, while being on the go. Here’s how you can make money and travel.
8 Ways to Earn Money while Travelling
The process of earning money can be classified into two sources – sources that you already own and personal skills. We will explore both options to find out the most effective and sustainable earning streams as a globetrotter.
Renting What you Own
The most effective and reliable income source is by renting what you already own. Since you will be constantly on the go, chances are you won’t be needing tangible establishments like a house or a car on a daily basis. So why not rent them out?

There are several online marketplaces where stock images of different localities are bought and sold. Simply sign up at one of these and start getting royalties every time your picture is used. And the best part is, that you get to keep the ownership of your pictures.
Some websites also offer you to sell prints that they will bind and ship on behalf of you at a percentage charge. There are even sites that exclusively sell drone footage. So if you happen to own a drone, this might just be the right time to shine.

Ever thought of writing a book? Globetrotters visit diverse countries, societies, cultures and lifestyles. They can write books sharing those valuable experiences. People who can’t travel due to various reasons can learn about many unknown things by reading travel books. Besides, other travellers may read those books to enrich their knowledge.
Nowadays, there's a huge market for e-books. While writing an ebook is all about digital literacy, platforms like Amazon have taken it even further. With Amazon, the platform will take care of making hard copies as well as e-books as per the demand of the readers and the choice of the writer.
