Introduction:
|
|
As we know that Asia Pacific Networking Group (APNG) is an Internet organization dedicated to the advancement of networking infrastructure in this region, and to the research and development of all associated enabling technologies. Bangladesh is one of the poorest, most densely populated, least developed countries in the world. Internet growth depends upon telecommunication infrastructure, computing and networking equipment, human resources, and an active, supportive government.As in many developing nations, the Bangladeshi Internet is hobbled by poor telecommunication infrastructure, a lack of computing and networking equipment, few human resources, and an indifferent, bureaucratic government. The Internet came late to Bangladesh, with UUCP email beginning in 1993 and IP connectivity in 1996.

It is expected that new door is going to be opened in internet & networking in Bangladesh shortly after inaugurating the conjunction to submarine cable that will open a high-speed, low- priced Internet and telecommunications gateway to the users from June 2005. The county will have a 10- gigabyte data transfer capacity a second, 68 times more than the current capacity which will cater for next few years. So in near future there is an increasing demand of networking taught people in Bangladesh to develop & growth the networking infrastructure of the country. Therefore as a participant from Bangladesh it was a great opportunity for me to be present at this type of camp.

Recommendation for the Future APNG Camps
|
- The all participants of the previous camps should be attend to the future camps so that they can present their contributions to the advancement of networking infrastructure in the Asia Pacific region after gathering the knowledge & experiences from the past camps.
- As we know that there are two APNG camps in a year. These camps should be organized in least develop countries who are still further away from the vast internet facilities so that the goal of APNG can be achieved effectively.
- Most of the fellows should be selected from the developing countries so that they can work to enhancement of the Internet facilities to their respective countries after gathering experiences from the camp.
