Tribune Take: Shy of 3G?

Bawany believes since smart phones aren't a major player in Pakistan mobile phone markets, faster data streaming will not threaten the current telecom system to a great extent. However, for smart-phone users, faster internet may mean ditching the traditional SMS or phone calls for applications such as WhatsApp and Skype, threatening traditional revenue models for mobile phone companies.
