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.
Heads up for you people !

anfert@ Well friend, according to population ratio, it is too less. Pakistani total cellular users are more than 100 million in population of only 180 million… and they are increasing day by day. You could imagine the financial ratio of Pakistan and India’s people
Aik Ghar main 5/5 ya 6/6 Mobile Aany sy koi Rich nahi ban jata :-S, Pakistan is also increased in poverty to 25% while it was only 10%…
Oh My God.
May Allah give show right path to these F**kInG Insane Rulers, who are against Humanity!
Hussain, I am amazed at your Dua from Allah? I am a foreign muslim living in Pakistan and wonder how dare you can use the word f*****g while mentioning the name of Allah in the same sentence? I can understand that everyone is fed up with this govt including myself who worry why everyone is keeping their mouth shut. but do ask pardon for above.
