  • I still remember before the liberalization of Telecom policy the cost of International Calls was o high that it was not feasible to do business because of the high cost.
    If PTCL bring down the price of International calls then it wont be very lucurative for the people operating the illegal Gateway exchanges.
    But in Pakistan the companies don’t want to benefit the people.
