1.1 What is the purpose of internship?

Internship is the capstone experience that provides students with hands-on, real-world experience in a
work setting. Ideally, internship will enable interns to: (a) integrate and use their knowledge and skills
from the classroom, (b) discover where further competence is needed, (c) take steps to gain that
competence under educational supervision, and (d) become better acquainted with the types of work
settings in which such competence can be applied.
1.2 What types of work can internee do at a site?
Internship prepares students for a professional career related to the major, therefore it is important that
interns get hands-on experiences similar to the experiences of paid professionals at the site. Interns
should not perform the duties of clerical or support staff. Also, interns should not be considered
substitutes to fill in for employees who are absent from work. This is an applied educational experience,
therefore it should be carefully structured to provide the greatest educational benefit to the intern.
1.3 What is required of the internee?
Interns are expected to exhibit professionalism at all times during the internship experience. This
professionalism should be evident in their interactions with clients, co-workers, and supervisors. Interns
are expected to apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities in the performance of all duties, to behave
ethically, and to follow all rules and policies of the site. Internship is a requirement for graduation.

OVERVIEW OF THE ORGANIZATION

2.1 History of PTCL

From the beginnings of Posts & Telegraph Department in 1947 and establishment
of Pakistan Telephone & Telegraph Department in 1962, PTCL has been a major
player in telecommunication in Pakistan. Despite having established a network of
enormous size, PTCL workings and policies have attracted regular criticism from
other smaller operators and the civil society of Pakistan.
Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC) took over operations and
functions from Pakistan Telephone and Telegraph Department under Pakistan
Telecommunication Corporation Act 1991. This coincided with the Government's
competitive policy, encouraging private sector participation and resulting in award
of licenses for cellular, card-operated pay-phones, paging and, lately, data
communication services.
Pursuing a progressive policy, the Government in 1991, announced its plans to
privatize PTCL, and in 1994 issued six million vouchers exchangeable into 600
million shares of the would-be PTCL in two separate placements. Each had a par
value of Rs. 10 per share. These vouchers were converted into PTCL shares in
mid-1996.
In 1995, Pakistan Telecommunication (Reorganization) Ordinance formed the
basis for PTCL monopoly over basic telephony in the country. The provisions of
the Ordinance were lent permanence in October 1996 through Pakistan
Telecommunication

(Reorganization)

Act.

The

same

year,

Pakistan

Telecommunication Company Limited was formed and listed on all stock

exchanges of Pakistan

13

PTCL launched its mobile and data services subsidiaries in 2001 by the name of
Ufone and PakNet respectively. None of the brands made it to the top slots in the
respective competitions. Lately, however, Ufone had increased its market share in
the cellular sector. The PakNet brand has effectively dissolved over the period of
time. Recent DSL services launched by PTCL reflects this by the introduction of a
new brand name and operation of the service being directly supervised by PTCL.

As telecommunication monopolies head towards an imminent end, services and

infrastructure providers are set to face even bigger challenges. The post-monopoly
era came with Pakistans Liberalization in Telecommunication in January 2003.
On the Government level, a comprehensive liberalization policy for telecoms
sector is in the offering.
In 2005 Government of Pakistan decided to sell 26 percent of this company to
some private corporation. There were three participants in the bet for privatization
of PTCL. Etisalat, a Dubai based company was able to get the shares with a large
margin in the bet. Government's plan of privatizing the corporation were not
welcomed in all circles; countrywide protests and strikes

were help by PTCL workers. They disrupted phone lines of institutions like
Punjab University Lahore along with public sector institutions were also blocked.
Military had to take over the management of all the exchanges in the country.
They arrested many workers and put them behind bars. The contention between
Government and employees ended with a 30% increase in the salaries of workers.

2.2 Pakistan Telecommunication Company limited:

Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) is the largest
telecommunication company in Pakistan. This company provides telephony

14

services to the nation and still holds the status of backbone for country's
telecommunication infrastructure despite arrival of a dozen other Telcos
including telecom giants like Telenor and China Mobile. The company consists of
around 2000 telephone exchanges across country providing largest fixed line
network. GSM, CDMA and Internet are other resources of PTCL, making it a
gigantic organization. The Government of Pakistan sold 26% shares and control
of the company to Etisalat in 2006. The Government of Pakistan retained 62% of
the shares while the general public holds the remaining 12%.
PTCL is also part of the consortium of three major Submarine communication
cable networks: SEA-ME-WE 3, SEA-ME-WE 4 and I-ME-WE. In addition to
wire line operations, PTCL also provides fixed line service through its
countrywide CDMA based WLL (Wireless Local Loop) network, under the Vfone
brand name. In the cellular segment, the second largest cellular provider in
Pakistan, Ufone, is also a wholly owned subsidiary of PTCL.
