I agree with Mohsin’s comments.

Other than this the goverment has not taken any substantial measures in past one to two years to help assist this industry to uplift but have been more focused to earn out of it as much as possible even at the stake of loosing it.

I think the telecom still has the muscle to sustain the hit. Think about the other industries especially those which employ a lot of human resources. Agriculture for example. We decrease the price of petrol and increase that of diesel and kerosene. Where is the sense in that? And that finance minister says on TV that common man will not be effected because they ride a motorcycle. And he said ON TV. Can you imagine.

Well I call it a unnatural way of slowing down.. Telecom is Pakistan is not slowing down because we hit its peak but due to the other financial and political factors.

UJMi – I think the disappointment is due to the self-inflicted wounds. The other day PTA chairman joined the mobile companies to complain about the increase in telecom GST to 21%. What is the government thinking?

Well I am not sure why it should be of any surprise! There is a level in every product’s life cycle where it cools down, next in the line is a sharp dip even, that is if the companies don’t keep on innovating with newer solutions…

Recently looking at the Wimax scene, I am even wondering if a Wimax operator can have a network spread like that of lets say Mobilink GSM in next 5 years. I am sure majority of Pakistani cell phone users will be more than happy to move to a Wimax service which offer them both data and voice (over VOIP) on their handhelds.
