I came back to do something for my country and in 2008, we got license to operate Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). We started a new era of telecom in Bangladesh with Peoples Tel. We had promising service with own soft switching system ever in country. Unfortunately we faced an odd situation from the government in 2010, at the growing moments of the services and he had to shut it down.
