I just don’t understand what Government officials think before making these decisions beside putting money in their pocket. In today’s world communication is path for the development just like in the old days people build roads. In my opinion this will effect our over all economic growth and push us further behind in the catch-up process. I wish we could select leaders that have some common sense.

This will also give opportunities to bypassers and use this chance to enrich themselves. telco all over the world is always focus on cost, among other things are secondary.

I know a provider that was charging 2 pence (GBP) per minute. Does it mean that it the cost can go up to 4 or 5 pence per minute, because from 2.5 c to 10 c is not too much. Is it pakistani cents that we are talking about???
