Mobilink aur ufone ke liye doop marne ka makaam hai ... This shows how much they care for their customers need and how much they are committed to their services .. MY BIG ASS.

For all those who are criticising Ufone, Mobilink and Telenor for not going for a 4G licence, please understand that the companies are run by experienced professionals who don't just work on numbers.
If you think about it, 3G is a new tech in Pakistan. It needs time to settle in, after which the demand for 4G would increase. Abhi tou if zong starts selling off 4G, it won't be cheaper than a couple of thousands per month. How much of the population, do you think, would fork off thousands of rupees for faster Internet. Like a technology expert said in an interview with PTV, you need to give some time for a concept to mature before forcing another option on them.
Mobilink and Telenor's stance makes perfect sense.
Looking at the current market in the country, a 4G licence would benefit a carrier if they were to launch a wireless broadband service like PTCL EVO. Otherwise, very few people would pay the extremely high price for 4G speeds on their devices. (for those who don't know, it is speculated that 3G services would cost around 2k per month on average use. LTE would cost even more.)
The thing to be noted is, that Ufone bid for the 4G licence. In my opinion, it only did that because it wanted 4G LTE to be available for PTCL's next gen EVO lineup.
Jahan tak zong ka sawal he, I think Zong plans to launch a wireless broadband service in Pakistan, similar to Wi-tribe with the small difference that it would be using its LTE network instead of Wimax.

Looking at the market dynamics here it was always clear that auctioning both 3G and 4G together was a mistake. Leaving aside the fact that the 3G packages are going to be expensive, how many of the 130 million mobile phone users have or can afford 3G handsets? According to estimates just 20% can.
And what to talk of 4G capable handsets. You'd be hard pressed to find one for less than 35k approx.
In such a scenario I think mobilink and Telenor made the right choice by not going for 4G. Our market is just not right for 4G right now. 3G needs to be given time to mature. The average user will be initially hard pressed to find genuine usage scenarios for 3G even. (And by average user I don't mean pg members most of whom own smart phones and are generally ahead of the curve technology wise as compared to the average Pakistani.)

I think that the rumors regarding ZONG 'coming back strong' had some weight because now i really think Zong will try to invest huge amount of cash in Pakistan, and strengthen its market position even further. Bohat paisa hay china telecom k paas :hah:
I m using edge and it works for me
My requirement whatsapp viber fb messenger iMessage.,,
But from now onwards i can enjoy it with speed ..
HTC 8X has 4G support and it's for 21k in the market. You just need to know where to look...
Agreed. Cheap ass phones from LG and HTC have 3G and 4G support. They cost 16000+ RS used. So I guess Zong made the move to please the upper middle class and elites and attain that status.

L LegacyGamerGuy:About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol -
Necrokiller:
It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.

Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already. -
XPremiuM:
Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
