Mobile Cellular operators ready to launch 3G technology

Mobile Cellular operators ready to launch 3G technology

Karachi (June 26, 2012) – Almost four out of five operators have upgraded their networks on 3G technology in major cities of Pakistan for launching high speed data telephony services to their customers by next year.
Industry sources said that operators including, Mobilink, Telenor and Ufone have carried out advancement in their infrastructure during past one year in six to 10 cities whereas Zong is working aggressively to develop its network for 3G enabled services.
These cellular operators have already invested heavily on physical infrastructure in the past and are likely to capitalise more money on the advanced network as part of their expansion plans.
The cellular companies have rolled out 3G systems on their network and they will not require much additional investments, except for the payment of licence fees, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) also stated in its recently released report.
The auction of 3G mobile spectrums has potential of generating significant revenues for the government in the upcoming months, which can fetch minimum $785 million if the base prices are considered at $210 for three licences and $155 for one licence having separate terms and conditions.
The SBP earlier estimated that the licences auction will create an opportunity to pocket nearly $1 billion for the national kitty whereas the volume of investment may increase more than the quoted amount if foreign cellular operators do participate in the auction process, industry experts said.
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) earlier scheduled licences’ auctions on March 28 and 29 separately, however the government delayed its bidding process to review its policy, terms and conditions.
The cellular companies that fail to get licence of 3G will lose their potential part of subscription, as their valued subscribers will likely migrate on the networks having 3G services. The factor will make a strong business case for operators with 3G services despite low but increasing demand of Internet on mobile at present. The revenue growth of cellular operators could jump up with the introduction of value-added services via 3G technology through high speed Internet access and video streaming.
The cheap 3G-enabled handsets and availability of mobile applications in Urdu is necessary for the pickup in demand for 3G services. The demographics of Pakistan’s population, with a large share of young adults hints at the possibility of strong demand for 3G services for infotainment purposes.
The 3G depends upon a competitive environment in the industry, however it will be a challenging stage for companies to offer services at low prices initially
The shifting of new technology horizon and success of business will depend upon the pricing policies of the firms that introduce new applications, the quality of service, and the pace of marketing of 3G services.

Mobilink’s Jazba Does the Copy Act Again

Mobilink’s Jazba Does the Copy Act Again


Mobilink’s Jazba which kicked off with copied logo does it again, this time with the art-work used to honour the newly engaged brand ambassador Atif Aslam.
Concept rip-off or copying have long been a part of Pakistan’s Telecom Industry when it comes to adverts and promotions. Talking about the recent re-launch of the Mobilink’s Jazba brand, designer Vakas Siddiqui has accused the creative team involved in video production of  ”Juro Gey Tu Janu Gey” song for copying and using his artwork without his consent.In the above image you can see both artworks side by side. This original poster was designed by Vakas for Stirngs concert at IVS in 2010 and ispublished on his website in February 2011.
This was least expected from a brand of this level, they should take care of such things before releasing out to public. They say “juro gey toh jano gey”  and talk about believing in yourself which is very positive and strong message, but this small negligence brings all the Jazba down. We all need to take care of our areas of specializations and respect others work.
Vakas Siddiqui
I am amazed at the fact that copied logo was not enough of a lesson for the team. Indeed a shame when a brand talking about Jazba does the copy-act twice.
