Internet in Dhaka part 2

Ok, so I was wrong about certain parts of my previous ramble. From my recent trip to BCS Computer City I can tell that even if the concept of a LAN is missing around my friend and family, it must be there somewhere in this city. I reason I claim this is mostly due to the tens of consumer grade routers being sold. Though as I mentioned before, many of these low-end consumer routers are being used to provide “cable internet” in many areas. There were even a variety of wireless access points, bridges and routers available, which points to the fact that WiFi must be in somewhere.

What was really interesting was to see the easy avaibility of ASUS, BenQ and LiteON products. Since these are all Asian brands the ease of importing them and their price points makes them a very promising supplier. I even noticed an ASUS EeePC amoung the variety of laptops that are readily available. Also it is much fun to see all the Chinese knock-offs that you can find :)
