Just one Google’s 1Gbps Optic Fiber connection is enough to deploy internet to the 21 tehsils of the province. :D Think Different!
You are Thinking very differently :D lolx
Unban YouTube & allow Google street view vehicles first. then talk.. #PossibleGoogleResponses :p
Every internet user of Pakistan uses Google Search Engine and you know Youtube is a company of Google, they why they cannot use Youtube. Everybody knows how to use proxies to open Youtube..!!! It has become easy for every person who knows the alphabet from A to Z.
lagta hai aap PAID Proxies use karte hain Zill-e-Bainulaqwai jaal ke maulim.. ya phr PTCL broadband 50mbps ka connection free mil gaya hai aap ko.. tabhi Proxies ko itna Tahe dil se ishtehaar kar rahe hain :) Good on you if that’s the case..
It’s not the case. Neither I use paid proxies nor 50Mbps connection. Being a student, Youtube is a very useful for source for me to watch lecture about Biology and Chemistry. I didn’t try to watch the Anti-Muslim videos.

Fibre optic in 21 tehsil mean covered in pustun belt is big achievement for PTI
Every pustun can access Internet
And definitely its demand from PTI ( all credit is going to PTI ) that s way federal govt announced for that province
Federal govt not announce for any other province because their is no demand from any other province
Mein shahbaz saib give laptops in their province but without optics fibre these laptops are same in punjab jaise
