KARACHI:
The policy for the auction of 3G service licences would soon be presented to the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) for discussion and approval, said Secretary Cabinet Division, Abdur Rauf Chaudhry.

Addressing a seminar on 3G mobile services organised by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) in collaboration with Qualcomm and Central Asian Cellular Forum (CACF) in Islamabad on Tuesday, he said that 3G services will hopefully be available for Pakistani mobile users by the end of 2011.


PTA Chairman Mohammed Yaseen said that they would be able to roll out plans for 3G services once the policy is approved by the government by the end of this quarter.
