For a country beset by recent natural disasters, political instability and a host of other economic and social problems, telecommunications in Pakistan has witnessed substantial growth over the past few years despite the odds. In an interview with BusinessWeek, a senior IT Minister has described the growth in Pakistan’s telecommunication industry as “an absolute revolution”. Deregulation, which had its humble beginnings in 2003, has led to privatization of Pakistan’s telecom industry and can be singled out as the factor that has driven growth in this critical sector of the country’s economy.
In mid 2005, Pakistan government sold its 26% stake in the country’s top, fixed-line institution – Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) to the Emirates Telecommunications Corporation (Etisalat) to further strengthen the deregulation process. Such economic reforms are driving the telecom industry to new heights. Since 2003, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has awarded in excess of 200 mobile, fixed and long distance licenses to 50 companies. This has resulted in substantial increase in competition spanning a wide spectrum of telecom services and fuelled further by Etisalat’s controlling share of PTCL.
