Research and Markets: Pakistan - An Updated Telecommunications Infrastructure Report

Tools

Posted January 9, 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e728ea/pakistan_telecom) has announced the addition of the "Pakistan - Telecommunications Infrastructure" report to their offering.

Over a 20 year period, the number of fixed exchange lines in service in Pakistan had increased more than fivefold. There are a number of problems, however: the majority of working lines are in urban areas, but 70% of Pakistan's population lives in rural areas; and by 2010, growth had well and truly stalled. A more balanced distribution needs to be developed between urban and rural for the longer term, and this in turn may give the stalled market the boost it needs to grow again. Wireless Local Loop (WLL) technology was showing signs of being one solution to both these issues. In the meantime, Pakistan continues to develop its international connectivity. This includes the planned launch of its first satellite Paksat-2 probably in the first half of 2011. This report looks at the various aspects of the Pakistanis telecommunications infrastructure, including its participation in submarine cable networks.
