Telecommunications Policy in Pakistan
Abstract
The telecommunications in Pakistan is currently going through a period of transition as
technological advances and liberalization of the industry move the industry into position to
compete in an increasingly competitive world and regional environment. This paper surveys
these developments with emphasis on the policies initiated by the government in recent years.
In particular, attention is given to identifying the main patterns of growth in the telecommunications
sector, and in assessing the manner in which these patterns have been affected
by government policy. This paper concludes with speculation as to the impact current and
future technological advances will have on the sector, with an appraisal made of the likely
direction of future public policy.
