Mobilink Jazz Brings Smiles to Cancer Patients is a post from: ProPakistani
Ali Zafar performed unplugged renditions of popular Pakistani songs with the young cancer patients including Channo, Chal Dil Mere, Dil Dil Pakistan. The young audience clapped cheerfully and joined in the singing as well. He also visited the wards to meet patients who were bed-ridden. Mobilink volunteers and Jazz Brand Ambassador's interactive activity with the children brought radiant smiles and lifted the spirits of cancer patients. Mobilink employees also conducted various fun activities like book reading, playing board games and picture coloring with the ailing children. Mobilink encourages personal involvement in community development as a part of its CSR Philosophy. Under the flagship of Mobilink Foundation, it carries out its own social initiatives and supports other organizations like SKMCH in caring for the marginalized sections of society. Mobilink rehabilitation camp in Nowshehra for IDPs was the largest ever social contribution from the private sector. The SMS literacy drive for underprivileged females and distribution of 31,000 school bags made from used pana-flex skins among poor students are some of Mobilink's continued endeavors that are aimed at spreading education, preserving the environment and numerous other uplift projects. Since January 2010, Mobilink volunteers have positively impacted over 3600 individuals.        Related posts:

3G Looks a Distant Idea, Another Seminar Concluded is a post from: ProPakistani
Minister In-charge for IT and Telecom, Sardar Mohammad Latif Khan Khosa was the chief guest, while IT Secretary Naguib Ullah Malik was the guest of honor. PTA Chairman Dr Mohammed Yaseen chaired the panel discussion. Representatives of Mobilink, Telenor, Zong, SCO, PTCL, Warid, Ufone, NSN, Ericsson, ZTE, Huawei, Motorola, Alcatel-Lucent, Qualcom and CDMA Forum were present at the event. Chairman PTA, qualcomm, CDMA forum representatives addressed the seminar along with their presentations. Network companies naturally advocated the needs of 3G and how it will revolutionize the mobile broadband in the country, but on other hands, cellular operators were not sure if 3G makes a good business case or not. PTA, as a regulator, thinks 3G has an opportunity and it should be explored. Mr. Latif Khosa, Minister of for IT and Telecom at one occasion publicly said to Chairman PTA that if PTA can arrange 1/5th of the spectrum auction price of India (USD 15 billion), i.e., USD 3 billion, then he can ask the government to auction 3G licenses right away. (He gave the chairman an almost impossible mission to accomplish) Apparently, government is waiting for the best time to reap the maximum monetary value of licenses. Some industry experts fear that this wait may deprive the country of 3G technology altogether. It merits mentioning here that recent 3G auction in India has put more pressure on PTA follow the suit in Pakistan. But difference in business scenarios in both countries, in-decision by government and reluctant attitude of cellular operators here is delaying the process. PTA is planning another two seminar on same topic in Karachi and Lahore in next month or two at most. It maybe recalled that PTA has conducted set of seminars on 3G in the past as well. On additional note, for those who want to study the pros and cons of 3G for Pakistan's market, a very insightful discussion is going over the same topic on TGP. It is estimated that cellular companies will have to invest half a billion dollar each for 3G license and to lay network in three major cities in Pakistan. One segment of industry say that ARPUs are too low to invest half billion dollar (at least), while others refer to GSM boom and say one has to create a need to make it a requirement – maybe now Pakistanis don’t ask for 100 MB link over mobile phone, but they may love it once they are offered such a service.

| Things You Should Know Before Getting DSL! Posted: 09 Jun 2010 11:21 PM PDT
Things You Should Know Before Getting DSL! is a post from: ProPakistani DSL is rapidly making its in-roads in Pakistani market and seeing this trend it is safe to predict this technology will surely reach to rural areas in a very short span of time. In Pakistan, DSL connection is offered on the same existing telephone line usually. So next time you opt for a DSL connection for your home or place of work, do not forget to raise a few important questions/issues which will not only enhance your level of understanding but also help you utilize the facility more efficiently and effectively. These questions pertain to telephone line health status as [SNR] margins, upload and download bandwidth operated on the same line. DSL connection TIPS:
It is pertinent to mention here that, as overall bandwidth increases, connection Signal to Noise ratio decreases. A customer that upgrades from 1.5 to 6.0 Mbps will typically see a corresponding decrease in the Signal to Noise ratio. This is normal and nothing to worry about. (Source: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_margin)
So the gist of the matter is that DSL is fast acquiring the status of indispensability in our daily lives. Although technology driven people are already aware of its many facets, it is high time common people bridge the information gap and familiarize with this technology as the speed is much higher than a regular modem while using DSL connection.

| Are You Prepared for Citizen Journalism? Posted: 09 Jun 2010 10:54 PM PDT
Are You Prepared for Citizen Journalism? is a post from: ProPakistani A new venture of citizen journalism is coming to life soon. Its called Citizens Eye by the team. The salient features of the website are still not known since the site is in the process of launching. The phenomenon is already established in North America, Europe and parts of Asia but it will be quite an experience for Pakistanis. The admin of the site has posed some tempting questions to attract the general public like
Citizen Journalism came to surface in Pakistan when lawyers' movement was in full swing. It will not be wrong to say it in fact added fuel to the fire as people witnessing or attending large rallies started sending short video clips and interesting photos to various TV channels but citizen journalism looks a bit haphazard as it is still evolving in Pakistan. This field now requires some guidelines, ethics and restrictions in order to grow consistently. People report in bits and pieces and do not give a clear picture of the issue involved like he/she may report students who travel on the roof of coaches but will not incorporate the views offered by Transport authority or reaction of parents that how concerned they are when they see their children traveling like this. New comers should also be told how best to avoid yellow journalism. These are changing times and the phenomenon is sure to spread like jungle fire but this useful tool should not be abused by a few clever people for their own vested interest; if used properly, it will help in improving the living conditions and making Pakistan a corruption free society. Another question remains un-answered yet, on how to incentivize the citizen journalists.SeeNReport had manage to create some buzz, but the problem remains the same, how to attract people to post news on such websites? who are more comfortable with sharing happenings on their Twitter Feeds instead of third party and non-incentivizing websites?

| iPhone 4 Knocks, Are We Ready? Posted: 09 Jun 2010 10:43 PM PDT
iPhone 4 Knocks, Are We Ready? is a post from: ProPakistani This is a Guest Post by Zaib Ali Finally Apple announced its best iPhone ever i.e the iPhone 4 at WWDC10. It may not be a surprise for you to know that apple has already beaten Microsoft in terms of revenue, quite recently, as most of its products hitting the market these days are phone based. Anyways coming back to iPhone 4, it is a huge phone that ideally speaking, all of us would love to get hold of instantly but the point is, will we be able to utilize the device fully since Pakistan has still not embraced 3G Technology. While many countries around the world have either adopted the technology or they are in the process of doing so including Bangladesh (surprising, isn't it!). iPhone 4 that is said to be a bandwidth hungry device while supporting tons tons of application including HD playback, one may wonder how will it perform with GPRS or EDGE. Now look at features of new iPhone 4 and then I will let you know its troubling features for us
Micro Sim tray needs a micro SIM to be inserted in it and micro SIM is something totally new for people and technology in Pakistan. Tiny card that holds your contact info and account information that you find in your GSM handset is a 15 x 25 mm plastic card whereas the new Micro SIM (also known as a 3FF SIM) is a diminutive 12 x 15mm, about 52% smaller. This will be a litmus test for telecom operators to come up to the challenge of iPhone 4. Telecom operators will have to invest in this technology. They should give a solution to this problem as iPhone is one of the most popular phones in Pakistan and iPhone 2G, 3G, and 3GS are glaring examples in this regard Or if you are extremely eager to have this phone and think that your carrier is not going to provide you with a micro SIM card then here’s what you can do, you can make one for yourself by cutting the large one to fit in your iPhone 4!! (Pakistanis you know are very witty). On other hands, people of the country are already voicing that why cellular companies are not bringing in iPhone officially. Else these phones are sold at 3 times’ price in the market. Retailers in Pakistan are estimating Rs. 70,000 as opening price of iPhone 4G in Pakistan or even higher. So the point is why cellular companies are not thinking about giving out iPhone like they do in other countries. An iPhone enthusiast went emotional and tweeted following: Image Credit: TheGadget Related posts:

| PTCL Launches Personal Global Number Posted: 09 Jun 2010 10:16 PM PDT
PTCL Launches Personal Global Number is a post from: ProPakistani
Once subscribed for this service a 9 digits UPT number e.g. 1220-11111 (Access code+UPT number) becomes your identity and you can use this service for multi-purpose. If you are a corporate executive and are always on a move, you can still effectively use your traditional landline by receiving your incoming calls at different locations with or without schedule. Similarly you can do out dialing from anywhere in Pakistan just by giving login information from any PTCL landline and cellular number; the best part is that the bill of all out dialing will be sent to the number on which personal global service is subscribed , not to the number from which calls were made. So unified billing is another innovative feature of this must-have service. Package Tariff:
Service Benefits:
How to Subscribe: Customers can subscribe to personal global number by dialing 1236 or 0800- 8-0800, whereas post subscription of incoming/outgoing call management and complaint registration can be done through 1229 IVR or 1218. More information about the service can be obtained from helpline: 1236. Related posts:
