Another great year has finally came to an end. The ICT sector of Pakistan witnessed many changes some of which were good while others brought discontent to the stakeholders. In this edition of “PhoneWorld Magazine”, we have highlighted all the current issues and important developments taken place in the industry during the months of November & December. 3G/4G subscribers reached 18 million mark in September 2015, new OEMs like Apple, Xioami, Lenovo, Infinix, Rivo and iNew entered Pakistani mobile market, startup culture and m-services including m-health, e-education, m-government, m-commerce became budding new trends.

Our engineering team has once again conducted Quality of Service benchmarking of each 3G and 4G operator to evaluate the so far performance of their respective networks. The main objective of network audit is to get an impression of how the network is performing with respect to network service KPI’s. This White Paper is composed by Mr. Bilal Abbasi. Our this special feature article gives a clear picture of each operator’s standing after the 14 months of 3G/4G network rollout.

Just like Imran Khan and Reham Khan’s marriage and then consequent divorce, mergers and divorces in industry were also the major talk of the town this year. Saima Ibrahim feature article on “Acquisition Merger & Divorce Warid Telecom” has shed light on the acquisitions, mergers and divorces of telecom industry that took place in this year. Mobilink, Telenor Group parted ways with Vimplecom after much disagreements and lastly, Ufone and PTCL have also decided to re-organize their management and merge their respective business operations.
