Pakistan one of fastest growing in telecom: UN
Saturday, April 04, 2009
ISLAMABAD: As the number of Pakistani cell phone users reaches 91,008,042, the United Nations (UN) has rated Pakistan one of the fastest growing country across the globe in the telecommunications sector.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) says that the tele-density in Pakistan is 56.50 per cent while Pakistan generated 763 million text messages during 2008/09 and stood fourth for SMS traffic in Asia Pacific.

According to the recently released UN report, more than 60 per cent of the world’s citizens have access to mobile phones; that is 4.1 billion cellular subscribers across the world.

The report adds that mobile phones help developing countries to improve their economy. That is a well established fact by now. However, a more relevant question is how the governments can either support this growth or cause it to slowdown.

Of course, political stability and lack of security is the overriding factor above all for the economy.
