Pakistan's Telecom Industry saw Year 2009 a difficult year as the overall growth and FDI declined as compared to previous years and millions of connections went offline due to their un-registered or fake registrations status.
As per data provided by PTA, Foreign Direct Investments declined by 48 percent during the past year while overall growth also declined besides cut in subscribers' ratio. However, despite very harsh working conditions for telecom operators due to ongoing global recession, hiked inflation, tough competition, law and order situation in the country and increased saturation rate for cellular subscribers, the Telecom industry did pretty well during the entire year.
Telenor, Warid and Zong did well in terms of adding new customers, showing positive gain in market share. Mobilink was successful in maintaining its lead. However, Telenor lead from the front as the company added 3.4 million customers, while Warid could grab 2 million. Zong stood third in race with 1.47 million customers during November 2008 to November 2009. Telenor is currently second in terms of Market share, while Mobilink still being at top. Ufone slipped down to forth position with Warid ahead of it at third.As far as total subscribers are concerned, Mobilink had 30,480,398 subscribers in November 2009; Telenor 22,279,449; Warid edging ahead of Ufone with 18,718,419; Ufone 18,361,072; and Zong 6,869,174. Significant changes also were witnessed in Year 2009 as far as market share is concerned as Telenor grabbed a lion's share of 2 percent market share in year 2009.
As of 2008, Mobilink had 33 percent market share in year 2008 while Telenor and Ufone had 21 percent each while Warid 19 percent and Zong 6 percent. However in 2009, Mobilink lost one percent of its share and slipped to 32 percent, Telenor added another two percent and stood at 23 percent, while Ufone and Warid sustained their tally at 21 percent while. Zong also got one percent and remained at 7 percent market share. The price war amongst cellular companies remained the same; however, the focus was found revolving the 30 second billing packages and SMS packages. Cellular companies started directly addressing each others in TVCs where we saw a clear tussle amongst the operators.

It's time for more news from Las Vegas. The CES isn't only about mobile phones but there are still enough premieres to make it to our headlines. One of the numerous promising devices announced during this year's CES is the LG GT540 Swift. This is LG's second smartphone based on Android (after the GW620) but apart from that it's just another phone born to feed up the social networking service mania.
The Swift rounded design seems kinda inspired by Sony Ericsson's W595 but fortunately LG's newborn looks way better (especially its textured ivory-like back). As seen on the images above there will be various color versions of the GT540 available. The phone front is taken by the 320 x 480 pixel resistive touchscreen while on the back there is a 3-megapixel autofocus camera.
The Android UI on the GT540 seems a vanilla one save for the four S-Class-like buttons at the bottom. When it comes to the social networking part, the GT540 has a dedicated SNS Manager to take care of Facebook, Twitter, and Bebo.
The LG GW990 was the star of the company keynote speech at CES this year. The full-touch device makes a brave attempt at resurrecting the MID class of devices by introducing specs well beyond the reach of any contemporary smartphone.
The sharp and compact BlackBerry Curve 8900 spells business and oozes with class. Easily the hottest looker in the Curve lineup - and possibly portfolio-wide - earns much respect as a massive functionality upgrade over its predecessors.
The distinct insider kind of charm of the BlackBerry handsets phases out into history as RIM are trying to take on the world and competitors with a new design language. OK, baptizing new converts was the Storm's job while the Curve 8900 seems the right stuff to inspire upgraders. Either way, we're happy to extend our BlackBerry streak and put the latest Curve through its paces.
Key features:
- 2.4" 65K-color TFT landscape display with a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels
- Comfortable four-row full QWERTY keyboard
- Quad-band GSM support
- Wi-Fi
- BlackBerry OS v4.6
- Trackball navigation
- Built-in GPS and BlackBerry maps preloaded
- 3.15 MP autofocus camera, LED flash
- 512 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM
- Hot-swappable microSD card slot
- Good build quality
- DivX and XviD video support
- Compact body
- Good web browser
- 3.5 mm audio jack
- Nice audio quality
- Smart dialing
Main disadvantages:
- No 3G
- No email support without BlackBerry Internet Service account
- Mediocre camera
- No FM radio
To begin with, there's both Wi-Fi and GPS, which was until now impossible to have in a single BlackBerry Curve 83xx handset. The screen resolution is also more than doubled and the device has become quite slimmer and so much prettier. Now that sounds like a pretty solid foundation for success but still doesn't mean the Curve can afford to be complacent.
User-friendliness and performance matter the most in reality and we know better than judging a phone before we have tested it.
So, we're about to nudge the BlackBerry Curve 8900 awake and take it out for a spin. Care to join the ride?
INTEL released a flurry of new computer chips...The New Microprocessors
January, INTEL released a flurry of new computer chips as the tech giant seeks to maintain its dominant position in the PC industry and prepares for
an expected boost in demand.
The new microprocessors, designed to power desktop and laptop PCs, are the first of a new generation of chips featuring smaller transistors that Intel said will juice performance and improve energy efficiency.
Intel released these new chips ahead of arch-foe Advanced Micro Devices, which is not due to field chips featuring the smaller 32-nanometer circuits until 2011.
"The juggernaut is rolling on, if you will," said David Kanter, an analyst with Real World Technologies. "It's important because it's their first 32 nanometer products, but if you're looking at what they're releasing in notebook and desktop, this is where they (Intel) already have a lead over AMD."
Intel, the world's No. 1 chipmaker, had an 81.5 per cent share of the PC and server microprocessor market in the third quarter, according to Mercury Research. AMD had a 17.8 per cent share.
The introduction of the new processors come on the heels of the release of Microsoft's new Windows 7 PC operating system software, which Intel executives expect will prompt consumers and businesses to upgrade to new, more powerful PCs.
The chipmaker is slated to report its fourth-quarter results next week, with analysts expecting revenue to increase 23 per cent year-over-year to roughly $US10.2 billion ($11.1bn), capping a year that began with Intel's revenue plummeting 26 per cent in the first quarter amid the economic recession.
The new processors are the first to include basic graphics capabilities, which the company said will support high-definition video playback and more casual 3D games.
Typically, computers are sold with basic graphics capabilities designed onto other computer parts, or separate more powerful cards.
Intel also said it is producing chips targeted at automated teller machines as well as medical and communications and other equipment, as the company continues its bid to extend the reach of its chips into new markets.

As reported previously, Steve Ballmer in his keynote today at CES 2010 announced the HP Slate PC which is said to go retail later this year. What is interesting about this Slate PC is that instead of running a stripped down or a customized version of Windows or Windows Mobile, it will be running full fledged version of Windows 7 (Starter most probably). Here is what Ballmer had to say about it.
They’re more powerful than a phone and almost as powerful as a PC. Perfect for reading, surfing the web and taking entertainment on the go..HP Slate is fully multitouch capable and can be used as a Kindle like ebook reader, or as an Internet/Web surfing device; oh and it can do light gaming too. Kindle app and Frogger game was demonstrated on it during the keynote. The specs of the device are still not known at the moment but HP has promised to reveal more on it later today. Official teaser video after the jump!
Apple is also set to unveil a Slate/Tablet like device later this month. An official announcement about it is highly expected to be made on January 27, 2010, at Apple’s mega event which is going to be held at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
