ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information Technology and Telecom Anusha Rahman has said that people with no internet connectivity will receive 3G by the end of 2018.

During an award ceremony organised by the National ICT Grassroots Research Initiative in Islamabad, Rahman said 3G and 4G had brought a revolution in the country. “Personally, I believe that coding is the future that Pakistan requires, therefore, we need to train our children and hone their computer skills,” she said.

Similarly, she said the freelancer initiative had turned students into entrepreneurs, which was healthy for the country’s progress.

She added that her office’s aim was to motivate at least 50% of the country’s population to contribute to the economy.
