KARACHI: Venturing ahead in this new time of technology, Pakistan has now formally got 3G and 4G right to gain entrance. The long-awaited auction of Pakistan’s digital spectrum raised over $1.1 billion in the auction on Wednesday, April 23, 2014, opening the door for next-generation communication technology in the country.

This high velocity internet will offer ascent to a lot of people & new organisations. It will create a limitless and unbounded exhibit of correspondence. We trust for a finer fate of Pakistan with this deliberate move.
