PTCL Imposes “Installation Charges” on New DSL Connections is a post from: ProPakistani Apparently, with an aim to enjoy the monoply, PTCL has started charging "Installation Charges" on every new Broadband and Broadband Wi-Fi connection. One time Installation charges of Rs. 500 will be charged from every subscriber. The installation charges are applicable from July 1, 2010. Previously this service was provided without any installation charges by PTCL as there are no complex procedures and costly equipment are required to install the Broadband. It merits mentioning here that PTCL's major rival LINKdotNET is providing this service free, without any Installation charges. Moreover PTCL recently changed its policy regarding Modem ownership – now the modem remains the property of PTCL despite subscribers pay monthly rental or otherwise installation charges for the device.

Keep Phone On: Zong Receives Overwhelming Response is a post from: ProPakistani
The first KPO lucky draw took place yesterday on 9 July, 2010 in which one lucky winner received a motorcycle for keeping his or her phone on during the month. This was Pakistan's first prepaid reward program which offered instant prizes to its customers for just keeping their phone on! The response from existing ZONG subscribers and new subscribers showed that people appreciate the difference between being rewarded for loyalty as opposed to for buying a SIM. This program was designed to gain the most out of a consumer based reward programs which sidelines the usual practice of all other operators of offering SIM Lagao/Jagao campaigns. With KPO, ZONG rewards its customers for staying with ZONG – the longer they stay with ZONG, the more rewards and prizes they are eligible to receive. These rewards include free SMS, free on-net minutes, cash, motorcycles and cars. There have been daily cash prize winners since the program was initiated and now of course, one of the big prizes has been won. Moreover every ZONG prepaid customer is entitled to win under the KPO reward program. As long as a ZONG subscriber keeps his or her phone on every day and completes at least one revenue generating activity, they too will be eligible to participate in July's motorcycle lucky draws on the 16th,23rd and 30th. The lucky draw for the Mehran for July will be 18th July. The winner of the motorcycle on the 9th has 5 days to claim their prize at a Customer Service Centre and within a fortnight they will be riding their new motorcycle. Salman Wassay, Head of Marketing, ZONG, while congratulating the lucky winner said, "We wish all our subscribers the best of luck for the daily cash draws and the weekly motorcycle ones. We want the industry to realize that it is important to reward our existing subscribers not entice new ones all the time." He added that this is a first for the industry where they have stopped focusing on price wars and start to build lasting relationships with their subscribers. Related posts:

PTA organises Telecom Consumer Forum is a post from: ProPakistani Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) organized Telecom Consumer Forum with a theme “Together for Consumer Rights”, said a press release issued here on Thursday. State Minister for Industries and Production, Dr Ayatullah Durrani was the chief guest on this occasion while Chairman PTA, Dr Mohammed Yaseen presided over the Forum. Consumer Representative, Suraiya Allahdin, representatives from IT & telecom industry, telecom consumer groups, renowned social workers and academia also attended the event. Dr Ayatullah Durrani said that this forum provides us an excellent opportunity to review the telecom scenario in Balochistan for achieving desired targets in terms of service expansion. He said that the telecom sector has witnessed a spectacular growth in the recent past. He said that Balochistan is gaining a lot of ground through implementation of last mile solution and increased network coverage. Major share in this increase of network coverage has been that of the mobile sector while Wireless Local Loop (WLL) services have also fared well recently in the province, he added. The Minister said that it would also have a positive spill over effect on the overall economy of the province creating increased economic activity in Balochistan. Dr. Ayatullah further said that number of consumer-oriented steps have been taken by the operators under the guidance of PTA which not only facilitate the telecom consumers but also ensure their protection from poor quality of services. He said that the verification of user antecedents and blocking of unverified SIMs, successful introduction of new SIM Activation System and smooth implementation of “SIM information System-668″ are some of the significant steps taken by PTA on SIM issue which would go a long way towards safe and legal use of mobile services. Chairman PTA, Dr. Mohammed Yaseen said that the statistics of recent telecom growth in Balochistan are evident of the satisfaction level of telecom consumers of this area with the quality of telecom services provided to them. He said that in year 2002 cellular teledensity in Balochistan was just 0.17 percent which has grew manifold after the completion of numerous development projects making this figure much healthier in March-2010 which is 34.3 percent. CEO Universal Service Fund (USF), Parvez Iftikhar said that the fund has started projects worth Rs 5.87 billion in Balochistan, which would help in provisioning of telecom services to far flung areas of Balochistan. This would bring economic betterment in the area, he added. The consumer representative, Suraiya Allahdin appreciated the role of PTA in focusing on consumer issues. Presentations were also made by PTCL, mobile and WLL operators on this occasion Related posts:
