According to a release from the Prime Minister house, Nawaz met with a three-member delegation from the telecom sector on Thursday. He said that Pakistan hoped that international bidders will partake in the upcoming auction.
He was of the opinion that the introduction of 3G technology in Pakistan will provide the crucial momentum to the growing economy and usher in a new era of information technology in the country.
Government should not run businesses but facilitate businesses and for this purpose we have raised the trust of the investors, Nawaz added.
The delegation comprised of Vimplecom CEO Jo Lender, Emeritus co-founder and Chairman Augie K Fabela, and Mobilink CEO and President Rashid Khan.
They appreciated the government’s privatisation policy and said that the introduction of 3G technology in Pakistan will provide the necessary momentum to the growing economy.
The delegation also called on President Mamnoon Hussain.

Guys.. appreciate the fact that they are making efforts for the betterment of the public. It doesn't matter if they make something for themselves in this auction, at least Pakistan would get a better technology. 3G/4G will be instrumental in increasing the public awareness, enable new business opportunities for the young businessmen, education in remote areas, etc, etc, etc.
You should give credit where due, they are going towards the auction in the first year of government, let alone the PPP govt. which could not do the auction in 5 years of power.
