BTCL or Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited, formerly BTTB, started its journey on July 1, 2008. The Bangladesh government initially owns all shares of BTCL but it would offload shares in the next one year for public. The value of BTCL is estimated to be at Tk 15,000 crore. BTCL has a total of 12,636 officials and staffs.

In pursuance of an ordinance promulgated by the president on 24 February 1979, the department was restructured into Bangladesh Telephone and Telegraph Board (BTTB) with a mandate to provide basic telecommunication services throughout the country. Now it has become BTCL.

BTCL provides land-line telephone services in the urban areas, domestic long-distance and international services. Though the Bangladeshi government has given out nationwide PSTN licences, the lucrative Dhaka market (which account for majority of the nationwide market) is still under the monopoly of BTCL.

BTCL provides dial-up Internet access in all 64 districts of the country, making it the most-accessible Internet service provider in the country.As of June 2008 its total dial-up subscriber is 28,659. It also handles the .bd domain.

As of May 2008, the total number of subscribers of BTTB was 0.87 million . [ [http://www.btrc.gov.bd/newsandevents/pstn_phone_subscribers/pstn_phone_subscribers_may_2008.php Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission] ]
