Is this going to improve PTCL’s pathetic services?
Before privatisation there was 78k employees and 9 million (90lacs) landline connections. They removed employees and left with 18k employees. Landline dropped and left with less than 2 million (20lacs).
Stock rate dropped from 65 to 14 Rs.
Profit dropped by 29b to 5b.
800m$ still pending
Pensioners money still pending
Dozens of poor employees dismissed for the last 5 years.
Curroption stories in PTCL is not hidden from anyone. Billions rs corruption.
ICH cartel issue where Billions of money been transferred to PTCL.
Charjee illegal services used by PTCL loss of billions to GOVT of pakistan.
Incompetent management destroying the poor company like termite.
Can Mazhar Hussain CHRO PTCL explain the above? Or anyone from PTCL can explain the above?
I believe they cannot even give answer of a single question.
You are comparing a situation of monopoly vs free market. Do you know how much PTCL was charging for a local and international calls. Those insane rates due to monopoly of PTCL, there was no option, one had to get PTCL there were very few mobiles. A mobile SIM would cost 3000, how can you compare that with the current market situation
That was longtime back. Now there no monopoly except carrier services. All cellular providing high speed internet. Users disconnecting DSL like hell.
Now very soon PTCL Smart TV will be vanish as DTH in the market now. And Unfortunately PTCL failed to acquire the DTH liecemce,how unfortunate. A gaint is only so called gaint.
Dth cable walae nahi anae deye gae .rest assured
Yeh pahlay x employees and pensioners ka tu masla solve Kerein . Beghairat PTCL management jhoot aur fraud Kay Liaqat kuch nahe letter . Marketing aur procurement mien arboon rupees ki curroption ker Kay koi in ko poochnay wala nahe. Lanut ptcl aur lanut pakistan govt.
