Ntc Acting MD Sangita Pahadi

Nepal Telecom’s Acting Managing Director (NTC MD) Mrs. Sangita Pahadi Aryal has said that Nepal has the second cheapest telecom service in Asia. Her statement opposes the idea many hold that Nepalese pay heavily for their communication services.

The newly appointed Ntc MD Pahadi made the statement at the Public Account Committee meeting on Thursday, October 12. She was speaking on the topic of telecommunication services in Nepal.  

During her speech, Mrs. Pahadi claimed that Ntc offers the second cheapest service in the country. She corroborated with some stats. In India, she said, the cheapest per GB cost is $0.17 while it is $0.2 in Nepal, just a tad higher. Check out: Nepal’s Fixed broadband internet speed is the fastest in SAARC, leads India

“Nepal Telecom’s telecommunication services comes second cheapest in Asia.” The cheapest is in India with $0.17 per GB while it’s $0.2 in Nepal. Therefore, it’s not true to state that Nepal’s telecom service is costly. In the global context, we are providing a very affordable service and are only behind India.

Are you down with the claim?

The idea that Nepal’s telecom service is expensive is rather common. However, the assertion does need a clear and objective analysis but there’s no doubt that the internet cost must be cheaper as we become more internet-dependent for our daily hustle and bustle. Especially, the Covid-19 times have shown how important or relevant the internet can be for our communication needs not just for simply passing time but for essential activities such as working from home. So, broadband connectivity has truly become an indispensable part of our lives.

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 (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
