BHUTAN – By the end of 2012 at least 40 locations in western and central Bhutan will have access to 3G or third generation high speed Internet connectivity, which is today available only in the core areas of Thimphu city.
Starting March Bhutan Telecom will start work to expand its 3G network in Thimphu, Phuentsholing, Paro and Gelephu.
3G is the ‘3rd Generation’ technology for mobiles which enhances internet speed and enables features like video calling, faster audio and video streaming and quicker downloads.

In urban Thimphu, six more locations will be added to the 14 existing 3G sites. The other 20 locations will be added in Phuentsholing, Paro and Gelephu and at tertiary institutes like Sherubtse College, College of Science and Technology and the college of business studies in Gedu.

“Many young people at these institutions are in need of these services and they are the people who use these services more often,” the CEO of Bhutan telecom, Nidup Dorji, said.

The present 3G sites in Thimphu are located within a five km radius of Bhutan Telecom head office. For 3G data service the speed range is 7.2 mbps.

As the upcoming license auctions draw close, news flows in that global telecom giants are cosnidering to participate in the bidding process. Prospective bidders to enter the Pakistan telecom market were informed to 3G/4G/LTE advisory committee.

As reported by Dawn News, they include:

• AT&T of USA
• British Vodafone
• Japan’s DoComo
• Qtel of Qatar
• Roshan Telecom from Afghanistan

The report further streghtens Warid’s un-fit financial position for the bid. Also, Warid can possibly make a joint bid with some telecom firm from Malaysia. Qubee is also reported to be in talks with current market players for a joint bid.

Complete report from Dawn News follows:

At least nine telecommunication companies including four world majors are likely to participate in bidding due by end-March for third and fourth generation telecom licences in Pakistan, raising hopes for a better foreign exchange yield.

An advisory committee on 3G/4G/LTE led by prime minister’s adviser on finance Abdul Hafeez Shaikh was informed on Thursday that British Vodafone, Japan’s DoComo, AT&T of United States, QTel of Qatar and even Roshan Telecom of Afghanistan were preparing for bidding to be new foreign entrants in the country’s fast growing telecom industry.

The information, based on market intelligence, was put forward by Ministry of Telecommunication and Pakistan
Telecommunication Authority (PTA).

The advisory committee was also informed that among the existing players Ufone, Mobilink and Zong were keen to get the new licences to be available for 15 years. Another player Warid was not in a position to independently vie for the future licence due to financial constraints but was in contact with a leading Malaysian telecom firm for a joint bid, according to market intelligence.

Qbee another firm that currently operates wireless and internet services in Pakistan and Bangladesh was also reported to be making contacts with some market players for a joint bid.

The advisory committee, said these sources, discussed a proposal to appoint consultant or a consortium of consultants to assist the government in transaction structure and bidding process but was informed that this could delay the transaction in view of procurement rules while the government was interested in over $800 million sale proceeds during the current financial year.

The finance ministry was of the view that the government could exercise its right to bypass procurement rules to reduce time for the appointment of consultants because that would help the government to maximise sale proceeds. The committee members remained divided over the issue, Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh said the decision would be made in a couple of days after consultations with the ministry of law.

In the meanwhile, the PTA was directed to enhance its coordination with the major telecom players for wider participation in the bidding process. The committee decided to appoint a media consultant for the transaction. The committee also considered replies to objections raised by cross-party members of the senate over the base price fixed by the PTA for the bidding. It also decided to issue an international advertisement for competitive bidding.

The government plans to auction three 3G and one cellular licence for 1900/2100 MHz (3G/4G/LTE) band and 800 MHz Band. The base price for 3G licence to be effective for 15 years has been set at $210 million while the base price for cellular licence for 8 years has been set at $155 million.

Likewise, the earnest money to qualify for the bidding has been set at $31.5 million for each bidder of 3G and $23.25 million for cellular license. The spectrum capacity allocation has already been fixed for three 3G licences.

The bidders would be required to start their offers from the base price fixed by government with each increment of at least $2 million multiples. The successful bidder would be required to deposit 50 per cent of the auction price within 30 days of the auction and remaining 50 per cent in five equal instalments. The bidder would be allowed to launch its operations on 100 per cent payment of bid money.

The senators had objected to the bid price saying it was too low given the fact that cellular companies had paid $291 million per license in 2004 for 2G services (GSM), now considered an obsolete technology. The advisory committee was, however, told that base price did not mean a sale price that would go up on competitive bidding and reminded the senators that the base price for 2G licenses was set at $61 million that had increased to $291 through bidding.

The meeting was informed that base price for cellular licence was set at $155 million because it was being issued against the remaining 8 years period of the defunct Instaphone instead of other cellular licenses that were for 15 years. Even the bidding result for one GSM license would also go up.

The committee was informed that base price was arrived at after taking into consideration the 2004 auction result of 2G (GSM), expected service revenues, subscriber growth, economic growth, per capita income, political situation and population of the country.

Almost at the verge of its operational collapse in India as a result of its license being cancelled on account of spectrum auction curruption case, the Ab Mera Number Hai operator Telenor is reported to shift its financial focus in Pakistan and double their investment here.

Report from an English daily in Norway, The Foreigner, also states that Telenor is content with relaxed policies of Pakistani Authoriries as compared to the counterpart in India.

It is worth mentioning here that the news of such investments from Telenor comes at the time when it has posted 20% revenue growth in the last quarter and is in the race to bid for the upcoming 3G spectrum auctions in March 2012.

Excerpt from the report follows:

Telenor representatives immediately approached the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority Chairman to set their forthcoming agenda in Pakistan following the revocation of partner Uninor’s license in India. Senior sources in the office of the PTA Chairman informed The Foreigner that Telenor is to invest double the amount in Pakistan after winding up their business in India.

These officials also revealed that Telenor is content with the PTA’s relaxed policies compared with the very strict rules and regulation and their implementation in India.

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority Chairman Dr. Muhammad Yaseen, who has already been the subject of media criticism for being extra favorable to Telenor, refused to comment on this issue when approached by The Foreigner by mobile.

No senior Telenor representatives in Pakistan would make any statement to The Foreigner regarding the current situation and revocation of the Uninor license in India either. Company Corporate Media Communication heads are trying to the stop the publication of the news by major media outlets in Pakistan by pressuring journalists and media moguls.

Telenor in Norway has not commented on the issue after being contacted by The Foreigner.

There are many different internet service providers out there, each with their own set of services to sell. This can lead to a confusing array of different offers bombarding anyone who wants to get their first broadband connection or change from their current provider to a new company. If you follow these few tips you should be able tostreamline the research process and sign up to an internet provider which will meet your needs. 

Connection Types 

There are a number of different internet connections available, with some providers operating only one type of connection while others work across a range. ADSL is themost common, making use of traditional copper telephone wire networks to get the service to your home. This means it is widely available and most people should be ableto get online in this way. Cable broadband is faster thanks to its use of fibre optic technology, although coverage is not as widespread as ADSL which means the location of your property will dictate whether you can use a cable provider or not. Mobile broadband is the newest type of web connection, taking advantage of 3G and 4G wireless networks rather than fixed line services. This means you can roam wherever there is adequate network coverage and get online using your laptop and a compatible USB modem.

Download Speeds 

As mentioned above cable internet connections are typically faster than any other option, which means providers can sometimes offer up to 100Mbps download speeds or higher in some areas. However, if you do not think that you are going to need such speedy web access then it might be more financially sensible to opt for a package from an ADSL provider as faster connections are invariably at the more expensive end of the scale. Mobile broadband is typically the slowest of the bunch because speed is reliant on your location and the level of network coverage as well as the capabilities of your device. However, for many the added convenience of not being tied to a landline is worth the limits on speed.

Limits and Usage 

Many internet service providers will impose a cap on the amount you can use your connection. In particular a mobile broadband service will have a monthly limit ranging from a few hundred megabytes to several gigabytes, with additional charges incurred if you exceed this cap. For fixed line services you can find so-called ‘unlimited’ data bundles which will not restrict you in terms of total data used each month. However, fair use policies are usually employed by internet providers to dictate when you canuse your connection for heavy downloading sessions and when you should be more frugal with your bandwidth consumption. For example, most providers will set a window for peak usage each day, typically between 6pm and 12pm during which users are requested not to go overboard in how much they use their connection. You should read carefully the policies of providers before you sign up to a deal so that you know your rights and restrictions.

Equipment and Extras 

Finally you will need to compare what additional kit is provided by an internet company when you get your broadband. Most will offer a free wireless router and modem setup of some kind, although there can be other extras such as free antivirus software, online data storage and installation. Meanwhile others might have hidden costs which will add to the typical price of the tariff.

These four criteria should give you a good starting point to check out internet providers and identify which will give you the best deal today.

Many of us already know about the spectrum auction curruption case in India. A year back we did a post on the lessons we can learn from the case India. Now when the PTA are all set to kick the specturm launch in March end the Supreme Court accros the border has given its rulling, cancelling 122 Telecom Licenses of worlds second larget mobile subscirber market.

This is a big setback for international investers, let’s see how this will effect the upcoming license auctions in Pakistan.

More from Reuters below:

India’s Supreme Court on Thursday revoked all 122 telecoms licences issued under a scandal-tainted 2008 sale, a fresh embarrassment for the government and plunging the mobile network market of Asia’s third-largest economy into uncertainty.

The ruling is a setback for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s government, which oversaw the sale of the licenses at below-market prices, costing the exchequer up to $36 billion in lost revenues.

The licences affected by Thursday’s ruling include all of those held by Unitech Wireless, the Indian joint venture of Norway’s Telenor and Unitech.

“We have been unfairly treated as we simply followed the government process we were asked to,” the Telenor joint venture said in a statement. “We are shocked to see that Uninor is being penalised for faults the court has found in the government process.”

The telecoms scandal is the biggest of several that have emerged during Singh’s second term and triggered massive street protests last year. Two ministers, including former telecoms minister Andimuthu Raja, who presided over the 2008 grant process, have resigned. Raja is in jail awaiting trial.

“This country is no longer willing to allow these corrupt corporations and these corrupt public officials to retain the benefits of their illegal and corrupt actions,” said Prashant Bhushan, a lawyer and petitioner in the case.

India is the second-largest cellular market in the world by subscribers, with 894 million at the end of December, although the market is crowded with more than a dozen operators, making call rates among the lowest in the world and squeezing margins.

Investors and operators have long been calling for consolidation in the crowded industry, and Thursday’s ruling stands to benefit the country’s biggest operators, including Bharti Airtel and Vodafone.

“Players like Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular with popular brands and strong balance sheets will be clear beneficiaries because they can take advantage of this situation and increase market share,” said Jagannadham Thunuguntla, Head of Research, SMC Investments and Advisors, Mumbai.

Stocks in telecoms companies including Reliance Communications and Unitech fell after the verdict, but shares in Bharti Airtel jumped.

“For foreign investors, it is a very bad news. What mistake did they do? They partnered with Indian companies, invested lots of money and followed the process of that time,” said Rishi Sahai, director at consultancy firm Cogence Advisors in New Delhi.

The Supreme Court said the current licenses will remain in place for four months, in which time the government should decide fresh norms for issuing licenses, a lawyer involved in the case said.

India’s image as an investment destination was dented over the past year as the economy slowed, government reforms stalled and the telecoms scandals along with other high profile graft cases heightened concerns about government policies.

“This is a collective failure of the government of India, said S ubramanian Swamy, an opposition politician who brought the petition to revoke the license. ” The court has said that the government must now get the market value of these licenses .”

Loop Telecom Pvt Ltd and Videcon Telecommunications, part of India’s Videocon group are also affected, along with Etisalat DB, the joint venture between Abu Dhabi’s Etisalat and India’s DB group; and S-Tel.

Thirteen licences held by Idea Cellular and three held by Tata Teleservices are also affected.

If you thought that booking MNP misuse under terrorism act was enough of stupity from Senator Rehman you haven’t seen what brains we have in the opposition.

Senator Pervez Rasheed of PML(N) who questioned the upcoming 3G and plus License Auctions process and most importantly the base price shared his views recently in Geo TVs talkshow Capital Talk hosted by Hamid Mir.

But guess what did they discuss about? G3; Yes, during the course of discussion on the matter the Senator and Talkshow host both kept talking about  G2, G3 and G4 proving absolute lack of knowledge for the technology.

Moreover, as far as the question on base price of the licenses is concerned,  we took an opinion from a telecom expert. Sharing that, let’s make it clear that the 3G base price is NOT lower than 2G base price.

Reason being that the standard and fair measure to compute the base price is ‘per-megaherts-per-year‘. Thus 3G being auctioned as a 10Mhz band license and not 13.xMhz band (2G), the base price comes to the same. Anyone with little telecom knowledge can figure this out, but we surely can’t expect this from our politicians.

Pakistan Telecommunications Company Limited (PTCL) is leading all operators in the country by providing to consumers the highest quality Broadband Internet service, according to the second nationwide Quality of Service (QoS) 2011 survey conducted by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).

Released last week, the PTA survey places PTCL in category A (more than 95%) at Lahore, Rawalpindi, Peshawar and Quetta, and in category B (more than 80%) at Karachi for the 1Mbps wire-line broadband service.

The survey was carried out in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, Rawalpindi/Islamabad and Muzaffarabad for categories of 512Kbps and 1Mbps in both wire-line and wireless broadband services offered by different operators.

The survey measures operators’ overall performance based on PTA’s key performance indicators (KPIs), including service availability, download and upload bandwidth speed, round-trip time, and service retain-ability.

“Pakistan is the world’s 4th fastest growing broadband market, and PTCL is the country’s single largest broadband service provider with 95% market share,” said Senior Executive Vice President, Naveed Saeed. “In line with the Government’s vision for Broadband growth in Pakistan, we are leading the country’s broadband revolution from the front by making this technology affordable through lowered entry barriers; by geographically bringing the service within the reach of a common user across the country; and by continuous improvements in customer care.”

The PTA terms Broadband as “a significant economic stimulus for any country”, and PTCL DSL is spearheading its exponential growth in Pakistan with a footprint in over 1,100 cities and towns. PTCL is the world’s first operator to introduce “UltraNet” using VDSL2 bonding technology with speeds up to 50mbps on a copper network; and it has deployed the Fiber to the Home (FTTH) technology.

Last year, PTCL again became the world’s first operator to commercially launch 3G EVDO Rev B service. In the form of EVO NITRO, it gives consumers the market’s maximum speed of 9.3MBPs. PTCL has Pakistan’s largest and fastest growing 3G EVDO wireless broadband network, with connectivity and roaming in nearly 200 cities.

“PTCL is one of the most progressive data connectivity providers of the world and Broadband is now a driver for Pakistan’s national GDP,” said Mr. Saeed. “We have a responsibility to develop Pakistan’s technology and data network for establishing the echo system conducive for our country’s economic growth and social uplift, and PTCL is fully primed to facilitate that.”

The first to bring to Pakistan EVO dongles with Internet connectivity, PTCL has followed by launching its innovative 3G EVO Wi-Fi Cloud to connect multiple Wi-Fi devices simultaneously and the first ever PTCL 3G Android EVO Tab with built-in wireless broadband offering Internet connectivity on the go.

This month, PTCL launched Pakistan’s first 3G enabled Android Smartphone, IVIO Icon Pro that offers dual support for both EVDO and GSM/CDMA network.

In a recent media breif by Mobilink, Rashid Khan, President and CEO said that his company “is evaluating the information memorandum of 3G spectrum and has decided to participate in the bidding”. With this announcement Pakistan’s largest cellular networks comes forward as the first potential bidder for the 3G auction scheduled for March 29, 2012.

Going further, Khan said that despite the global economic recession there was an enabling environment for cellular business in Pakistan. This comes as a very expected statement from a mobile operator in market where the ARPU is near USD 3.

It must also be noted over here that, as advertised by PTA in local newspapers earlier this week, the base price of 3G license is USD 210 million with USD 31.5 million. The auction will be conducted through multiple rounds and open outcry method while each operator can secure 2 block of spectrum.

Commenting on the base price, Rashid Khan said it was a reasonable base price determined on the basis of telecom policy. He also ruled out that the five telecom sector companies were colluding for the bid.

On the other hand, Senator Pervez Rasheed of PML(N) has questioned on the transparency of 3G auction in the senate session that the base price of 3G license of $210 million is much lower than the base price at the time of 2G license which was $290 million. He demanded to immediately stop this process and review its conditions to avoid any chances of embezzlement.

Senator Pervez was supported by Haji Adeel, Ilyas Bilour of ANP, Col. Syed Tahir Hussain Mashhadi (retd) of MQM, Prof. Khurshid of JI and others warning the government not to proceed with its auction plan without taking them into confidence. They also had reservation on the license being auctioned on “technology neutral” saying that this would be like a charity.

With the objective, PTA is actually in the process of investors’ conferences within Islamabad and also Karachi. We all know How 3G Technology Changed the World Dr. Yasin, additionally describing the auction methods, mentioned that current telecom providers could quite possibly get started providing 3G services soon after being granted a license, before the new operators start it, they’re going to have to wait right up until March 2013 to begin 3G services in the Pakistan.

He was quoted saying that there might be possibly that no minimum and maximum specifications for international equity and international operated organizations and it could be permitted domestic financing.

Giving an answer to a question he declared that prices are minimal more than that they had initially anticipated. Previously estimations recommended that the starting price for 3G licenses might possibly be $195 million, .

According to Experts the successful bid should not rise above $270 tag, although our current telecom participants who may have intends to not to choose 3G will have their finest to improve the bid worth; in serious situation $300 million level may perhaps be entered.

The world of technology is growing faster than ever imagined. Not so long ago were the days when you had to choose between slowly surfing badly designed websites and making a phone call. These days, the demand for constant communication, access to news and online banking while on the move has pushed the evolution of the internet into the palm of our hands.

It is no longer a sight to behold if someone is walking down the street, streaming their Spotify playlists through their brand new Galaxy Tab, while reading the news and Tweeting about it at simultaneously. 3G (third generation) technology has allowed us to access and share information at the click of a button or a swipe of a finger.

It’s a hard concept to grasp that just ten years ago we would sit patiently for two whole minutes and wait for a webpage to load when now, we curse slow-loading mobile internet more than bad traffic on a Friday afternoon.

Where would we be without the technological advancement of 3G? Ten years in the past is our best guess. Without 3G, remote working would be completely out of the question and switching off between work and home was as easy as not having emails bombarding your mobile phone at all times of the night.

It’s not just the workaholic that has been affected by the advancement of internet on the move. Travellers benefit from mobile GPS systems, while families split between cities and countries can chat face-to-face while on the train.

If you find yourself bored whilst commuting to and from A to B, you have the option to download a book or some music, browse the App Store for another addictive game or Facebook the journey away.

The power of 3G, however, was greatly underestimated until recent events across the world. Student protests in London, uprisings in theMiddle East and help in finding loved ones after the Japanese tsunami are only a few examples of how 3G technology has helped organise major events.

Citizen journalism has also been on the rise since the ability to upload and share information has become so easy. The Hudson River emergency landing is probably the most famous example of an innocent bystander snapping a shot and sharing it with the world before the newspapers were able to get on the scene.

May 2011 saw the Twitter sphere explode with the news of Osama Bin Laden’s death before the Whitehouse had the chance to give an official statement and the Google Nexus One was revealed online before mainstream news, or even Google itself, got a look in.

The advancement of mobile internet can only get faster and more efficient as it grows in popularity across the world. Currently, 4G is being tested around the UK and promises ultra-broadband speeds and an alternative to home wifi connections. Watch this space – it may not be long before your whole online life goes mobile. The developed countries are talking about 4G and in Pakistan we are still waiting when 3G will come in Pakistan.
