PTCL Strikes Enter 14th Day, Management At Last Talks to Unions is a post from: ProPakistani Just like we predicted on the first day of strike, PTCL management has, at last, opted to negotiate with union leaders after taking a hard stance earlier by going into courts and wasting good two weeks of its customers. Fearing the sit-in call by employees on August 31st, PTCL management just decided to meet union leadership on Sunday evening. Mr. Walid Irshad, President PTCL, Mr. Mazhar Hussain, SEVP HR, other top management met at least a dozen union leaders. Reportedly, PTCL is of the view that none of the private sector organizations increased salaries by 50 percent; however, keeping in view the current inflation, management increased 30 percent salaries to benefit company employees. Last reports said that talks are yet to be concluded. This drama is now repeated every year in July-August, when PTCL management (now looks it deliberately) confronts its workforce. Just in case if you don't know, this year PTCL management decided to increase salaries by 50 percent of salaries that employees used to get in 2008, instead of their current salaries, while the government of Pakistan had decided to increase salaries by 50 percent of their current salaries for all government employees, including following organization:
This was a daring move by PTCL management, especially well knowing the consequences; it decided to act like conventional Arab enterprise. Technically speaking, PTCL management is not under government of Pakistan, due to the historical decision of Privatization Commission of Pakistan when it gifted the managerial control of the company to Etisalat against purchase of mere 26 percent shares. Now, the PTCL workforce considers themselves Government employees and are expecting similar treatment as of any other government institute. But they are un-aware of the reality that PTCL is not in hands of Government anymore, it is being controlled, run and administered by Etisalat. On other hands, PTCL management must consider its suffering customers who are left with no communication option during the strikes. Strikes that entered into its 14th day today have halted the communication system of the country. As per media reports, hundred of thousands of telephone lines are dead, no support and after sale services are being offered by any service center or PTCL exchange. PTCL employees have locked down the exchanges throughout the country and are protesting on roads for the fulfillment of their demands. Largest rally, till date, was organized in Rawalpindi yesterday. Union leaders from across the country along with thousands of PTCL employees from Rawalpindi and Islamabad demonstrated in the rally. Following are some pictures; Pictures via PTCL Workers Update: Latest reports mention that Mr. Walid Irshad, President PTCL has accepted employees' demands, however, official confirmation is being awaited.

DTH in Pakistan, Major Impact and Considerations is a post from: ProPakistani
As per PEMRA's annual report, penetration of Digital cable TV system is still under penetration. It says still phase-I is in-process, which is expected to be completed soon i.e. in December, 2011 and that too at metropolitan level. Concurrently, district level penetration of digital cable TV system was planned to be launched in January 2010 and to be completed by the end of December 2015. We have already enlightened our readers in past about Digital Cable TV system and its benefits to end users and operators. Without expounding into specifics of digital cable TV system let us analyze the DTH, its impacts and contemplations. DTH technology is capable of transmitting audio/video signals to subscriber's premises by using geo stationary satellites. The small dish antennas are used to receive signals by using STB (Set Top Box) with much better audio and video signal and other on demand active and pay per view services. The DTH is being delayed due to several reasons, while officials may know the exact reasons for its pending status, but what we can measure by viewing current market trends is that its demand is at highest level as of now. Moreover, government is also overlooking the chance of better execution of electronic media regulations through DTH. Major Impact of DTH Launch on current cable TV market: Existing Cable TV market is high revenue market while DTH would be big time threat to existing Analog and Digital Cable TV systems, especially due to its proximity and low cost penetration in rural areas. Resultantly emergence of DTH could be revenue shrinking for existing cable TV operators. How to overcome this impact? As every difficulty comes with an opportunity, Digital cable TV system can be a major competitor to DTH service and it will create benefits for customer's w.r.t tariffs. Digital cable TV system operators can be benefited with their increased ARPU's w.r.t its value added services. Existing cable TV operators can easily manage DTH's competition by having digital cable TV system and launching different active services including Education learning portals, active games, rss feeds updates, pay per view and on demand movies services. Is it right or wrong to delay the launching of DTH? Time will answer this question, but officials must not ignore the benefits of DTH, uproar in the current Cable TV market revenue streams and possible threat to existing cable TV after DTH. If any, PEMRA can play major role in avoiding any revenue disturbance for any segment of the market. If in five years as planned, PEMRA completes the digital cable TV penetration in Pakistan (metropolitan and district level), and later on or concurrently DTH service is launched, this may create intense competition for both segments, while handling this competition may go tough for PEMRA. With that, PEMRA also needs to regularize and plan content development for such services on Digital Cable TV system before penetration is completed. Workshops and seminars can play major role in educating benefits of digital cable TV system to existing licensees. It may nurture in Digital Cable TV operators to launch services more appropriately and proven to be money-spinning. Related posts:
