The National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC) plans to lay a new submarine cable between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), according to an official source.
The estimated cost of the project will be worked out by a consultant in the proposed techno-commercial study and feasibility report, while the source of funding will also be sought in the study, the source said on Friday.
He said Pakistan is already connected with three international fibre-optic cables, but carrying out a feasibility study for a new fibre-optic cable connection will help examine the technical and commercial viability of the proposal.
