Services
HR Networks incorporated in Feni, Bangladesh in January, 2024 . currently delivers Internet Service.
All services are competitively price and targeted to small office/home office (SOHO) customers. HR
Networks incorporated in Feni, Bangladesh in March 2021 . feels that this market segment has largely
been neglected because of the amount of "hand-holding" required by this segment, and the inability to
pay the astronomical fees charged by many ISPs for typically poor service and user support.
By working to simplify the creation, management, and support of our services, the company will enable
customers to perform many tasks themselves, or automating these tasks based on the customer's stated
needs. This will make our pricing more competitive, the customer’s perception of service high, and the
operation as a whole more reliable and profitable.
As soon as Feni Super Net is rewarded with the Internet Service Provider License from Bangladesh
Telecommunication and Regulatory Commission (BTRC), our aim is to achieve the following in the first
year:
o Handle up to 1000 Home users.
o Handle up to 100 Corporate Level Users.
Feni Super Net, established in March 2021, offering shared and dedicated Internet access, server co-
location, and network-related professional solutions (design, installation, management, etc.). The
company has dedicated personnel to access and publish documents on the World Wide Web.
The company provides many of the services that customers need to get online. The company provides
both connectivity. The company has ongoing research and development to provide solutions to current
customer issues and to develop new products and services which enable the company to enter and
compete in new markets and attract new customers.
Feni Super Net selects products which meet the following criterion:
Benefit to customers/company: the product must materially benefit the customer or the company in
some way. This may manifest itself as a side benefit, an improvement on current services, or additional
revenue stream to the company.
Cost/benefit ratio: the benefits realized must be at least as great as the cost of implementation,
production, and maintenance of the product.
Maintainability: the product must be maintainable by Feni Super Net personnel. The company has had
some experiences with products where source code and other maintenance resources are unavailable
and has had major difficulties with these restrictions. The company has a strong preference for Open
Source and similar distribution methods where source code is available to personnel to correct problems
which vendors consider too unimportant to warrant effort on.
Feni Super Net makes a concerted effort to keep customers informed and to remedy problems in the
shortest possible times. The company has lost very few customers to technical support issues, and will
continue to make high quality support one of its primary goals.

Feni Super Net offers telephone support during extended business hours (8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and has an
on-call pager for emergencies (network-down and server-down situations). In the future, the company
plans to implement a 24/7 network operations center (NOC)
The company gives technical advice to pre-sales customers and technical support is offered for all
purchases by the customer. These services are offered by Feni Super Net at no cost to our client.
Future Services:
Free (advertiser supported) back-office service with email, file sharing, calendaring/scheduling, and other
applications are options for future services from I Net Information Systems. This would allow groups (both
for-profit and nonprofit) to have the collaboration enjoyed by major corporations with management
information systems (MIS) budgets for little or no cost. It also would produce an avenue through which to
offer future free and pay services.
Feni Super Net is in the process of researching a future service of integrated communication service, and
data over high speed TCP/IP network connections. This product would provide new and innovative
revenue streams. Current plans for this product are to price the consumer product very aggressively and
take the profit from secondary services such as advertising

Service Business Analysis:
The following sub-topics look at the size and concentration of businesses in this group, the way services
are bought and sold, and specific competitors.
Business Participants:
The company is competing in the low-cost Internet access of the industry. The industry is moving in the
direction of a fusion of video and data services over a single common media. This is where all media
players must move in order to compete in the coming decade.
The ISP industry has begun the process of specialization. Many companies who began by filling all needs
(as we do today) have moved into areas which utilize their strengths.
Additionally, there are a few new markets emerging, such as Applications Service Providers.
The rise in Internet users has proven to be a boon for Internet service providers, which charge monthly
subscription fees in return for providing access. While business has been good for many of these ISPs, a
number of challenges threaten the long-term growth and profitability of these companies.
Today, most residential Internet users gain access to the Web via commonplace copper telephone wires.
Download speeds are limited to a maximum 56 Kbps and are often significantly slower than that, resulting
in frustration among impatient Web surfers. The lack of speed has provided an opportunity for broadband
service providers to gain market share. Therefore, Feni Super Net broadband offer which provides high-
speed online access through Optical Fiber Media Converter will attract users who desire more speed and
are willing to pay a higher price.
Therefore, Feni Super Net will always design its products keeping the above points in mind.
Risks:
The company recognizes that it is subject to both market and industry risks. The company's view of its
risks, as well as how each is being addressed, is as follows:
Regulations. Possible problems caused by a sudden increase in regulation by local, State, or Federal
authorities. One way the company can reduce this risk is to diversify into several different, but related,
Page 4 of 6
business areas. If one area becomes too heavily regulated it may be sold and the profit rolled back into
the company to bolster the remaining business or start a new venture.
Legal matters. Lawsuits stemming from user abuse or accessibility of pornographic or questionable
materials. The courts have historically classified ISP's as "carriers" unless the ISP made an incomplete
effort to actively filter material posted by or made available to its users. The company's usage policy
clearly states that illegal behavior will result in termination of service, but we do not otherwise attempt to
control the access of its users or their content, thus maintaining the company's stance as a "carrier" in the
eyes of the law. If the legal environment should change, the company will modify its policies and
procedures to conform to the prevailing legal environment.
Technology. Sudden and unexpected shifts in technology or the popularity of the Internet. The company
will maintain an active research and development effort, as well as ongoing review of forthcoming
technologies from competitors and vendors, in order to stay near the top of the technological curve. Also,
the diversification of the company's business allows it to respond to shifts in revenue by redistributing
material and personnel into those efforts most likely to generate the highest return on investment.
Strategy:
The Feni Super Net strategy is to achieve name recognition and attract customers by aggressively pricing
its services. Once customers have been acquired, the company will seek to offer them additional services
which will increase margins and provide them with useful solutions they would not otherwise find.
The company will also implement a low-cost strategy. This will be achieved by working to establish and
develop agreements with local media companies to exchange services for discounted advertising and
other exposures. INet Information Systems' market strategy is to build on its core portfolio of products and
services using the company's expertise in the ISP industry.
The company will leverage its discounted services to help provide secondary income streams. For
instance, the company plans to launch free email services, business directories, and other similar
services which will attract current and potential customers to our Web pages. These "page views" will be
used to generate advertising revenue, as well as increase exposure of our own products and services.
Feni Super Net will be able to excel in the market because the company is small, highly focused, and
motivated. The company can respond quickly to changing opportunities and take advantage of the latest
technologies.

Contact Campaigns. This initiative will encompass various methods of reaching potential customers to
generate interest, followed by direct mail to the potential customer.
Print Advertising. Ads will be developed and placed in several industry publications.
Trade Shows. The company will participate in selected local and national shows that will provide an
opportunity to develop exposure. This is a very effective tool in creating awareness and stimulating lead
activity.
Industry Organizations and Associates. The recommendation is to join a number of organizations that
are relevant to the company as a whole. This initiative will create awareness of the company within the
industry, and provide networking opportunities.
Telemarketing Campaign. Telemarketing activities geared to identify qualified leads, follow-up on sales
progress to the qualified leads, and assurance that new potential contact lists are current and accurate.
Promotional Giveaways. This is a traditional way of advertising a company's name by giving something
away. This will be used in conjunction with community service organization fund-raising efforts and
traditional advertising.
