Broadband penetration in Pak low
STAFF REPORT ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has witnessed a very low broadband penetration, despite the push in the last couple of years and the drop in prices.
“The comparative study of the three-month period (June-August 2010) shows that additional 200,000 subscribers for the 2010-11 are expected to be registered,” said an official of the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority while talking to this scribe here.
According to him, based on that, the total number of broadband subscribers would be around 1.1 million by June 2011.
He explained that the percentage growth is fine but the overall number is unacceptably low which is a major point to be reconsidered.
The share of WiMax as technology is 29 per cent of the total subscribers of the country and is regularly growing.
