Pakistani professionals have been making massive inroads in the regional and global markets over the the past few years.<br />

Companies from outside Pakistan are not just appreciating the quality
 and standard of Pakistani talent but are also offering them 
respectable, top notch jobs.<br />

Very recently, there was another major development and an incredible 
feat was achieved by the current Chief Marketing Officer of Ufone, Akbar
 Khan.<br />

Mr. Khan, who has been the backbone of Ufone’s success over the last 
decade, was recognised for his brilliant work by parent company Etisalat
 and was offered to join the UAE based telecommunication giant as their 
Group Head of Brands.<br />

Realising the magnitude of the opportunity, Khan has accepted 
Etisalat’s offer and will be moving to the UAE to head their brand 
operations. This achievement is no mean feat considering the Etisalat 
usually considers Western talent preferably from the United States or 
the United Kingdom for their top positions and Khan saw off all foreign 
competition for the prestigious position.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Khan’s achievement is a prime example how the employers at Ufone are 
given a grand stage to perform at and the work and achievements of the 
employees does not go unnoticed.<br />

Khan’s rise has not come without merit. He has had over 14 years of 
experience as Head of Marketing, Head of Brands, Chief Marketing Officer
 (CMO) with reputed global telecom brands such as Millicom, Orascom and 
Etisalat.<br />

Khan has had a proven track record of achieving impressive results in
 intensely competitive multi- operator-multi SIM environments. He is the
 man behind a $700 million plus annual revenue, 23 million customers, 
20% contribution from Value Added Services, optimisation and efficiency 
of multi-million USD budgets.  These numbers are testament to his 
incredible talent and achievements that are second to none.<br />

Khan’s escalation from Ufone to Etisalat is a shining example for every Pakistani who aspires to make it big in life.<br />

Even Khan himself wouldn’t have imagined something like this at the 
start of his career – what was important was that he believed in 
himself, worked relentlessly for it and made it happen.<br />

His achievement should become a source of motivation for every 
Pakistani youngster, who should understand that nothing is impossible in
 life if there is sheer dedication, devotion and hard work.</div>

ICH Policy, under which all international traffic is terminated 
through PTCL and revenues are shared by 14 LDI operators based on their 
pre-ICH market share, is to be re-visited by IT Ministry by December 
31st, 2013, said Dr. Ismail Shah, Chairman Pakistan Telecommunication 
Authority.<br />

As per a directive from PTA that was based on ICH Policy, the 
authority had asked all LDI operators to not to terminate international 
incoming traffic on their networks. Instead, PTCL was authorized to 
bring Pakistan’s international incoming traffic on behalf of all 
operators.<br />

Moreover, ASR and APC rates were also revised with the implementation of ICH.<br />

The new international termination rate set by the PTA was $0.088 per minute, an increase of approximately four hundred percent over the competitive market rate of approximately $0.02 per minute that existed prior to the ICH agreement.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Rates were changed as following:<br />

Dr. Ismail Shah in a TV show on Dunya TV yesterday said that IT 
Ministry going to thoroughly analyse the ICH policy and ASR rates.<br />

LDI Operators Had Bribed Former PM, President for ICH Formation: Wahaj-us-Siraj

14 Long Distance and International operators had bribed former Prime 
Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, former President Mr. Asif Ali Zardari and 
then secretary IT, revealed Mr. Wahaj-us-Siraj, in a TV show on Dunya TV
 yesterday.<br />

Mr. Wahaj-us-Siraj, CEO at Nayatel/Micronet and Convener of ISPAK, 
said that a sum of Rs. 800 Million was pooled from LDI operators to 
bribe then Prime Minister, then President and then Secretary IT Mr. 
Farooq Awan to get ICH implemented in the country.<br />

It merits mentioning here that CCP had made all its efforts to stop ICH due to its anti-competitive nature but Ministry of IT approved the policy directive for implementation of ICH.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Mr. Wahaj further claimed that these government officials were 
regularly receiving bribe money of Rs. 100 to 150 million per month from
 LDI operators.<br />

Mr. Wahaj maintained that then government wanted to achieve two 
targets; one was bribe money while another goal was to strengthen grey 
mafia which had more incentive (read margins) for terminating grey 
traffic into Pakistan after ICH.<br />

Due to ICH, rates for international incoming calls to Pakistan surged by 300 to 800 percent. Operators, in return, earned 300 percent more revenues from international traffic.<br />

Government had then justified the ICH by claiming that national 
exchequer will be benefited with more tax money through ICH, however, 
facts suggest that Pakistan made less money for exchequer after ICH due 
to decrease in international traffic from 1.9 billion minutes per month 
(before ICH) to just 400 million minutes per month (today).</div>

Telenor Group’s hoarding displayed in Blue Area, Islamabad, is about 
to be altered by Telenor Pakistan, a spokesperson has just confirmed RexHacker.<br />
For those who don’t know, <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/12/telenor-bluntly-misleads-its-customers.html" target="_blank">Telenor had displayed a hoarding in Islamabad with tagline “We are 4G-LTE”</a> for its group operations across Asia.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, while taking the notice of the hoarding, had asked Telenor Pakistan for the explanation.<br />
A PTA spokesperson explained RexHacker that PEPSI can’t advertise a
 service/product in this country which is offered in India or in any 
other market if it is not available in Pakistan.<br />
“Similarly Telenor Pakistan or its group can’t advertise 4G while it 
is not offering the service in Pakistan”, the official said.<br />
Telenor, in response, is removing the line “We are 4G-LTE” from the hoarding to comply with regulator’s directions.</div>

Smarty Ring: Probably the Best Wearable Gadget so Far

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
From Google Glasses to Smart Watches, wearable computing devices are 
clearly a latest trend and it appears everyone has a wearable concept 
for the days to come.<br />

Cashing in on this new trend, a small startup has triumphantly raised
 funds to mass produce the Smarty Ring, a wearable ring that allows you 
to control your digital life right from your finger.<br />

But what exactly is the Smarty Ring and what does it do?<br />

Smarty Ring is a wearable ring, which is the first of its kind, and 
has been devised to allow its users to check alerts from their 
smartphone and manage calls right from their finger using Bluetooth 4.0 
connectivity; it ensures that you don’t miss any significant text or any
 Facebook update. Concisely, it is a device which would apparently beat 
all other wearable gadgets out there.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Sz-rE2C3v0eEqXSZ8kYi6wHGJO1r3kGLRUxav8JvGyK01YpGjIlojSNNL7jLAVHqw_Ocqa2rassLTnWDOPf59Udbcl8gyOJwK9DimJ15w2x0Y3Rs5BaHtCOujkhvIjRzq-j8rZwuCWU/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Sz-rE2C3v0eEqXSZ8kYi6wHGJO1r3kGLRUxav8JvGyK01YpGjIlojSNNL7jLAVHqw_Ocqa2rassLTnWDOPf59Udbcl8gyOJwK9DimJ15w2x0Y3Rs5BaHtCOujkhvIjRzq-j8rZwuCWU/s1600/1.jpg" /></a></div>
It has some pretty notable features like, users can manage the settings 
for their Smarty Ring from a mobile app, and can even use the device as a
 watch, timer or phone finder for instance, if a user walks more than 30
 meters from his phone, the ring will beep to warn them that they’ve 
left something behind. It also allows the customizable remote control 
and monitoring of your phone, whether it is in your pocket or on a desk 
nearby.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe6kDxr95iUEPsw1XUWClTPo844wgz7KzVcLRvwMpPb6bvTWxk3OZnbmP7eLs5WdVcnHsX2lVj3SVdF9B2SEzA00XZ0wLTi8JtbxvXLbUh8JGL2pXvenwzcJ1mf6pxFitjmACk1eGnP4I/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe6kDxr95iUEPsw1XUWClTPo844wgz7KzVcLRvwMpPb6bvTWxk3OZnbmP7eLs5WdVcnHsX2lVj3SVdF9B2SEzA00XZ0wLTi8JtbxvXLbUh8JGL2pXvenwzcJ1mf6pxFitjmACk1eGnP4I/s1600/2.jpg" /></a></div>
Similar to a smart watch, except with a very small display, the surface 
is not only chic – but impermeable and vacuum-packed; the 
stainless-steel ring has a 24-hour battery life, and it comes with its 
own wireless charging base, which can be used to charge the wearable 
along with a compatible smartphone. It works with both Android and iOS 
devices, provided they have Bluetooth 4.0 compatibilities.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiosPabb9R2gP6jX_UYNdMRvwraHaCXNTJRN6z4BSAEKyOiUtqbqHAxOQOpi8bFwdLbR6n6I9QRQ0ZbA1bU4RSeLHjqJDDIH0ujwwdsQ-WOObE945df7rVOSLVLZNtwwd2cMxnEFVB2XRU/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiosPabb9R2gP6jX_UYNdMRvwraHaCXNTJRN6z4BSAEKyOiUtqbqHAxOQOpi8bFwdLbR6n6I9QRQ0ZbA1bU4RSeLHjqJDDIH0ujwwdsQ-WOObE945df7rVOSLVLZNtwwd2cMxnEFVB2XRU/s1600/3.jpg" /></a></div>
Some other compelling features includes,<br />

<ul>
<li>Call notifications</li>
<li>SMS and email notifications</li>
<li>Social media updates</li>
<li>Accept or reject incoming calls</li>
<li>Make outgoing calls to preset numbers</li>
<li>Trigger camera</li>
<li>Control music</li>
<li>Change profile</li>
</ul>
The first set of Smarty Ring is promised to be delivered by April 
2014; you can Pre-Order it – for $175 — from its very own Indiegogo 
campaign page <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/smarty-ring" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

PTCL to Offer Data Hosting Services for EDG’s E-Office Project

PTCL and Electronic Government Directorate (EGD) yesterday signed an 
agreement according to which PTCL will offer data hosting facilities for
 the implementation of E-office project, said a statement issued by 
Ministry of IT and Telecom.<br />

Ms. Anusha Rehman, Ministry for IT and Telecom, earlier chaired a meeting where modalities of the agreement were finalized.<br />

Ms. Rehman termed the agreement an historic moment as the E-office 
replication project finally entered into the implementation phase.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
The Minister noted with deep regret that E-government project 
remained unimplemented since 2007, only because EGD/PCB could not 
establish a data hosting centre despite its allocation in PSDP. But now 
the team at Ministry of IT will ensure that this project is implemented 
within stipulated time period.<br />

The Minister reiterated that the security of the E-office system is 
the most important element so that no one would be able purge the 
record. As the security, transparency and efficiency are the key 
features of the project, the Minister also directed the EGD/PCB to make 
all necessary arrangements for the training of the officials of all 
Ministries so that we could get maximum benefits.<br />

In the implementation phase the work will be monitored expeditiously 
against KPI’s/targets and no further delay would be tolerated Minister 
added.<br />

It merits mentioning here that PTCL was awarded the project without publicly tendering the requirements.<br />

Ministry of IT believes that its an interim solution provided by 
PTCL, during which NTC will get its own data centre to finally provision
 hosting facilities for the E-Office project.</div>
