 Pakistan - Fixed Network Operators
This report looks at the major players in Pakistan's telecommunications market. The market continues to be dominated by the Pakistan Telecommunication Co Ltd, although this dominance will no doubt be affected by the ongoing process of opening up the telecoms market. PTCL was established in 1990. In 1996 it became a publicly listed company, but remained 88% state-owned. The government, having remained strongly committed to further privatisation, sold a controlling 26% of the company to the UAE-based Etisalat in a complicated deal that was finalised in April 2006. This report also looks at the fixed network voice services, including the emergence of VoIP services in Pakistan.

Pakistan - Internet Market
Internet access has been available in Pakistan since the mid-1990s. PCTL started offering access via the nationwide local call network in 1995. By early 2006 Internet penetration remained low. There were signs that this was changing, however. The country has been pursuing an aggressive IT policy, aimed at boosting Pakistan's drive for economic modernisation and creating an exportable software industry. There is no doubt that has been helping increase the popularity of the Internet. The market certainly has huge potential, but there is a long way to go. This report looks at the development of Internet and e-commerce in Pakistan.

Pakistan - Key Statistics Telecom Market and Regulatory Overviews
Pakistan's telecom market has struggled for a long time with the transition from a regulated state-owned monopoly to a deregulated competitive structure. The government set out plans to increase fixed-line teledensity from 2.5% at the end of 2002 to 7% (around 10 million fixed lines) by 2010. To achieve this target, however, more than one million lines still needs to be added annually. In the meantime, the mobile market had jumped to more than 63 million subscribers by mid-2007. Internet penetration remains low. With competition spreading through the market, however, expansion is accelerating. This report offers a set of statistics on the Pakistan telecoms market, as well as information on the regulatory regime.

Pakistan - Mobile Communications and Broadcasting
With annual growth around 100% for some years now, the mobile telephone market in Pakistan has been experiencing a period of strong and sustained development. Mobile services were first offered in 1990 and, despite high costs, grew rapidly. Subscriber numbers increased from 68,000 in 1996 to 3.3 million by end-2003; since then the subscriber base has surged to reach 80 million in early 2007. Penetration had reached the 50% mark, but judging by the commercial activity in the market there was still room for expansion. While progress has been made in the regulatory area, some rigidity in policies had been slowing growth. This report looks at the Pakistani mobile market, as well as a brief look at digital media.

Pakistan - Telecommunications Infrastructure
Over a 15 year period, the number of fixed exchange lines in service in Pakistan has increased more than fivefold. There is a problem, however; the majority of working lines are in urban areas, but 70% of Pakistan's population lives in rural areas. A more balanced distribution needs to be developed for the longer term. There are five gateway exchanges in Pakistan's international network - two in Islamabad and three in Karachi. Through these earth stations international telephone, telex, data and video services operate. This report looks at the various aspects of the Pakistani's telecommunications infrastructure, including its satellite and submarine networks.
