There are a very few areas that have continued to blossom during COVID19’s hard-hit economy and internet service can be one of them. Over the period of 10 months pandemic period, Nepal’s leading telco NTC (Nepal Telecom) has added more than 63 thousand new subscribers over fiber. Similarly, the leading ISP WorldLink follows Ntc to add nearly a similar number (63 thousand) new subscribers, NTA’s latest MIS report reveals.

Nepal went into nationwide lockdown on Chaitra 11 last year. Since then People were forced to confine within their domestic walls and online became the only way to work or utilize their forced leisure.

I am an experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks to 4G and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and the development from the dial-up connection to up to the 2 Gbps fiber broadband internet and their transformative impact in the country. I occasionally write on movies and fintech as well. In my free time, I read for pleasure and travel to the nature. I am a master graduate based in Pokhara.
