After a 10-day outage, Bangladesh is set to restore mobile internet services at 3pm on Sunday.

State Minister for Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak made the announcement after meeting with the Association of Mobile Telecom Operators of Bangladesh, or AMTOB, on Sunday morning.

“We have taken the decision to restore 4G network connectivity from 3pm today,” he said.
