External Environment

Pakistan Telecom market is a highly competitive, dynamic and chanllanging environment. Every Telecom player is always on its tows to see what’s new being brought in by their competitor and how to respond to them. This demands a lot of creativity and pro – activeness.

On the other hand competition is so intense that telecom operators find difficult to earn profits as their share holder desire. The average telecom user in Pakistan is a $ 1 to $ 1.5 user in a months time – that is too low!! This environment is feasible for only 3 operators across Pakistan. However, there are 5 operators competing against each other making competition more intense. One of the operator PAKCOM ( popularly known as Instaphone has already winded up its operations. While Warid telecom is on verge to collapse. Warid Telecom’s Board of Director is evaluating its Pakistan operations and has given indication to sell its operation.Mobilink is now part of Wimplecom that is one of major share holder in Telenor – world wide. Speculation are that in future Mobilink and Telenor will be merged to form a “SMP” – Significant Market Player.

Zong is China Telecom’s company and is supported by China Government, thus has good funding source on the other hand Zong is not only a commercial operation but has large geo-political interest of China and irrespective of commercial success or failure they will continue their operations to safe guard their geo-political interests.

Ufone is Pakistan based company and is subsidiary of PTCL. Though Etisalat group (Dubai based Teleco) is now managing the show, still Government of Pakistan is major shareholder in PTCL and Ufone. Irrespective of cut throat competition they will remain in the market as essential Landline and cellular service provider along side with its associated products 3G, 4G, internet etc.

Pakistan market despite its low income stature is potential for branch less banking through cell phone and pantum demand for value added services, including but not limited to internet, 3G, 4G data processing,etc.
