This document discusses social CDN businesses and costs associated with operating CDN nodes in Bangladesh. It notes that CDN services cache internet traffic, multiplying bandwidth by 15 times. It estimates the monthly costs to operate a single CDN node in Bangladesh, including electricity, cooling, and upstream bandwidth costs totaling over $5000 USD per node. With over 500 nodes currently operating in Bangladesh, the total annual expenditure for ISPs is estimated to be over $2.5 million USD. The document compares this situation to other countries where large tech companies like Google and Facebook directly invest in infrastructure. It concludes with announcing a panel discussion on the topic between representatives from Bangladesh and other countries.
