This is to inform all budgetary bodies that the Department of Information Technology and Telecom (DITT), Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC), has successfully completed the negotiations under the Internet bandwidth demand aggregation initiative with two Internet Service Providers (ISP), namely Bhutan Telecom Corporation Limited (BTCL) and Tashi Infocomm Limited (TICL), to revise the internet tariff for government agencies connected to the Government Intranet or the Government Initiated Network (GIN).
The prescibed bandwidth for the agencies shared with the BTCL and TICL have been determined by the DITT based on the number of devices in 483 schools with the Ministry of Education (MoE) and other stakeholders. However, it has been noted that some of the agencies have already started to upgrade the internet bandwidth beyond the prescribed bandwidth.
Should it become necessary to increase the bandwidth, all budgetary agencies are requested to route their communication & coordinate with dealing officers, Mr.Karma Sangay (ksangay@dit.gov.bt) or Mr.Pema Dhendup (pdhendup@dit,.gov.bt) of DITT.
