Some facts about telecom and Pakistan

-Head Quarter of world's largest off-shore controlled call centre company
(TRG)
-Telecom sector growth of over 20% every year since 1999
-Fastest growing cellular market in the *world*
-Completely privatized land line and mobile businesses (6 nationwide
providers, 1 from Norway, 1 from Middle East)
-Investment of $8 Billion over 5 years in telecom sector - huge by local

Siemens, Avaya, Alcatel, Nortel, Panasonic, Huawei - all have presence here.
Many companies have set up software development centre to develop mobile
phone software, games, content. Asterisk is hot.

Once I was mugged walking the street of NYC in my suit, laptop bag without
laptop, talking on cell phone. Who fault was it?
