i read an article from website of DAWN (http//dawn.com/). it says tht total numbers of mobile fone subscribers in pakistan is little more thn 4 million. out of these, mobilink holds 3 million connections. rest of the 1 million is shared by other competitiors. i also got to know by some other means (donot remember exactly) tht ufone holds arround 600,000 connections. with this much huge database of 3 million users, mibilink comes up as remarkable provider. especially since after firing their previous CEO, services of mobilink have improved a lot. even in late night hours (when network is really bussy), i talk with my brother on sms (i m in khi, n he is in islamabad) very easily.
telenor has just arrived, so i donot want to comment, till it stabilizes. however, all of my friends who bought telenor connections, r in tough time these days. i donot get their sms, but they gget my sms. "no connection' message appears at least 5 - 6 times before i manage to call them.
other existing companies r okey as well. but let us see whether they maintain their quality of services as their subscribers grow in number. bcoz managing 600,000 users is easy thn managing 3 million users.
however, arrival of new companies shud b welcom, it will start healthy, n possitive competition n the common man will benefit from it the most. i still remember, tht i bought my mobilink connection for PAK Rs. 7,000/- n today it is so cheap!!!! bcoz the monopolies r crushed.
