Posted July 15, 2010

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0e2143/pakistan_key_sta) has announced the addition of the "Pakistan - Key Statistics, Telecom Market and Regulatory Overviews" report to their offering.

Pakistans telecom market had been struggling for a long time with the transition from a regulated state-owned monopoly to a deregulated competitive structure. The government set out plans to increase fixed-line teledensity from 2.5% at the end of 2002 to 7% (around 10 million fixed lines) by 2010. This target eventually became impossible to achieve (with around 4% penetration having been reached in 2009). However, in the meantime, the whole telecom landscape in Pakistan had changed with the phenomenal expansion of the countrys mobile market. Over the same period - 2002 to 2009 - the number of mobile subscribers jumped from less than 2 million to more than 94 million. Despite a tightening national economy, coming into 2009 the mobile market continued to expand at an annual rate in excess of 10%. Internet penetration remained low, however, and broadband growth had also been negligible, but 2008 saw an upsurge in broadband subscriptions; importantly, this looked to be continuing, boosted by the spread of competition throughout the market. This report offers a set of statistics on the Pakistan telecoms market, as well as information on the regulatory regime.
