PTCL

Intro:

PTCL is all set to redefine the established boundaries of the telecommunication market and is shifting the productivity frontier to new heights. Today, for millions of people, we demand instant access to new products and ideas. More importantly we want them for their better living standards with increased values in this ever-shrinking globe of ours. We are setting free the spirit of innovation.

History:

In 1990 T&T transformed into a wholly-owned Government corporation i.e. Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation (PTC) under the Pakistan Telecommunication Corporation Ordinance issued on December 15, 1990.

In exercise of the powers stated under the Ordinance, PTCL was created on January 1, 1996 and took over all the business of PTC minus about 5% of the assets and much of the Government business which went to National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC). The carving out of NTC from PTCL was performed in response to the national security concerns, although it was indeed a very unique arrangement. A minor portion of the assets and employees were also transferred to PTA, FAB and PTET. PTC stands effectively dissolved from January 1, 1996. Under the law, the 7 year monopoly granted to PTCL commences from this date.

Broadband InternetVirtual Private Network (VPN)

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that primarily uses public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users, access to a central organisational network.

VPNs provide many layers of access security, such as remote user authentication and data encryption technologies to prevent disclosure of private information to unauthorized parties.

Wateen’s clear channel circuit or Layer 2 MPLS Virtual Private Network (also known as L2VPN), is a point-to-point ‘pseudo-wire’ service. It is used to replace existing physical links based on TDM circuits.

Wateen also offers Layer 3 VPNs for customers who have a traditional hub and spoke network topology. In these cases, all sites are connected to an aggregation site, which serves as the regional hub resulting in a point to multipoint link between the aggregation site (the hub) and the remote sites (spokes). Another variation of the same network topology is called ‘Any-to-Any’ in which any customer site is connected to any other site of the same Network.

Page 22: Pakistan ISP industry Analysis

DPLC/IPLC & IP Transit:

A PLC (Private Leased Circuit) is a point-to-point private line used by an organisation to communicate between offices that are geographically dispersed throughout the world. A PLC can be used for internet access, business data exchange, video conferencing, and any other form of telecommunication. Wateen provides PLC Services across both domestic & international destinations over its own nationwide fiber optic network and various submarine cable systems through multiple partners internationally.

Conclusion & Recommendation:

As per our conclusion, competition is being tougher among all the players with every coming day. All the players are trying to give their best to grab maximum market share. According to our research so far it has been observed that Brain Telecommunication is seems to be less interested in consumer market, as corporate market is being congested day by day, so as per our conclusion Brain Telecommunication should actively participate in consumer market segment as well, as it has relatively less brand awareness in consumer market. Brain Telecommunication should pay more attention on their customer support and services and should confront all the claims, as it is a big tool to retain customers and expand market share as we are in the era of services marketing. To grow rapidly Brain TEL should position as highly innovative and premium quality services provider in ISP industry.
