There was a time when communcation was proceded by the help of horse rider messeanger and

with the pigeons. But by the time passed these ways started to be improved and than
came that historical moment when the world was told about Alexander Graham Bell's
notebook entry of 1 !arch 1"#$ describing his successful experiment with the
telephone. %peaking through the instrument to his assistant& Thomas A. 'atson& in the
next room& Bell utters these famous first words& (!r. 'atson )) come here )) * want to see
you.(
At that time no body had thought that this device would be changed to a small chip called the
cell phone or the mobile phone.
+ow a days we use the mobile phone in our daily life but how many people of us know about the
history of mobile phone.
In 1938 Us army used smailar shape of mobile phone called waly talky that

In the United States, engineers from Bell Las egan work on a system to allow

Telecommunications in Pakistan describes the overall environment for the growing mobile
telecommunications& telephone& and *nternet markets in 8akistan.
*n -" 8akistan was the world9s third fastest growing telecommunications market. 8akistan's
telecom infrastructure is improving dramatically with foreign and domestic investments into
fixed)line and mobile networks: fiber systems are being constructed throughout the country to
aid in network growth.
;1<

[edit] Regulatory environmenthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_in_Pakistan

The Telecommunications =rdnance of 1>>? created the 8akistan Telecommunication Authority
@8TAA& 8akistan's first independent telecommunications regulator& and the 8akistan
Telecommunication ,ompany 5td @8T,5A& a state)owned monopoly.
;-<
Bue to a lack of competition& local telephone call rates were high and international call rates
were even higher. Buring the 1>>s& a call to 6nited %tates cost C. per minute @D8kEs per
minuteA& which was not affordable for most of the population. *n addition customer service was
poor: fixing a problem might take 1 to 1. days. Bespite this& consumers had to stick with 8T,5&
as they had no other options.
This prompted the government to take a series of actions to improve the service by opening the
telecommunications market.
;D<
This was critical& but reFuired a fine balance because opening the
market and preserving 8T,5 were both important for the government.
*n Guly -D the government introduced a Deregulation Policy for the Telecommunication
Sector&
;?<
which allowed and encouraged foreign companies to invest in the 8akistani
telecommunications market.
;-<
The centerpiece of the deregulation was the establishment of two
categories of basic services licenses/ 5ocal loop @55A& for fixed line telecommunication within
the 1? 8T,5 regions& and 5ong)distance and *nternational @5B*A& for connectivity between
regions.H Two sets of criteria set by the regulatory authorities must be met before an operator is
allowed to start operation/ one for the issuance of a license and another for the maintenance of
service Fuality.
*n -$& Itisalat *nternational 8akistan& a wholly owned subsidiary of Imirates
Telecommunications ,orporation& purchased a -$J stake in 8T,5 and assumed management
control of the company.
;.<
8akistan's telecommunications infrastructure includes/ !icrowave radio relay& coaxial cable&
fiber)optic cable& cellular& and satellite networks. *nternational links include/ landing points for
