but now cellular companies making big profit…PTA not caring abt cellular users…
These are only sim sold out figures, in terms of quality and standards Pakistan is far behind.
Pakistan does not have 96 mobile phones.
instead, these are number of SIMs sold so far, 30-40% of which are unused or discarded.
What do the figures higher than 100% in column “% of population” means?
Good Sharing Thank.
Pakistan’s services are one of the best, the “nay sayers” are the ones who either have never been abroad or never used a cell-phone outside of Pakistan…ignorant fools with a slave mentality. Before complaining about your country see what your English Masters can provide for you.
