These are very good stats. But i think looking at it from a different angle will help even more. Specially when comparing to India. My question is what is our cellular penetration rate.
Putting it simply what percentage of people have cell phone from the total population. I think we cross India in this stat. Do you have anything numbers to confirm this.??
I am a great fan of Pro Pakistani and am planing to start my own blog soon.
