Jon Fredrik Baksaas, CEO & President Telenor Group and Chairman of GSMA, is in Pakistan on a two day schedule.<br />

During his visit he is expected to hold high level meetings with 
government officials and dignitaries to discuss the growing and evolving
 ecosystem of mobile telecommunication and mobile financial services in 
the country.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
“Jon Fredrik Baksaas’ visit comes at the most opportune time as 
mobile operators in Pakistan are gearing up for the upcoming 3G spectrum
 auction and provide internet and data services to one of the largest 
mobile phone markets in the world. I hope his visit will help in further
 highlighting collective industry issues and putting forth the mobile 
operators’ perspectives to the government and regulatory authorities.” 
said Lars Christian Iuel, CEO, Telenor Pakistan.<br />

“Telenor Pakistan has shown tremendous growth over the years in its 
GSM and financial services domains,” Iuel added. “We remain a strategic 
player in the region in terms of empowering societies through our 
ambition of expanding financial inclusion and bringing Internet for 
All.”<br />

Telenor Pakistan has plans to engage media for interaction with 
Baksaas. For the purpose, there are few interviews lined up for 
tomorrow, however, Telenor will have to be cautious since a similar 
media interaction with Lars, CEO of Telenor Pakistan, went ugly in the past when his off-the-record conversation was made public.<br />

Jon Fredrik Baksaas has been President and CEO of Telenor Group since June 2002.</div>

We had previously shared a tutorial on Three Column Footer Widget
 which was well appreciated and today we have yet another more advanced 
version of the same widget. This new widget can become three column, 
four column or with as many columns as you wish. Further this new footer
 widget has some great CSS effects added to it which makes it even 
better. First see a demo to know what’s so different about it.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="fullpost"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
You can observe that there a 
total of four columns by default and you can add as many widgets as you 
want to each column. If you wish to increase or decrease the number of 
vertical columns then follow the steps below.</div>
<h4>
How to Customize the Widget?</h4>
<div align="justify">
Well
 I will keep it simple. I think the colors and overall size and padding 
and margining are just perfect. The only thing that you will need to 
adjust according to your template is the width of the widget and the 
number of vertical columns. </div>
1.  In order to reduce or increase the overall width of the widget simply change <b><span style="color: green;">width: 960px;</span></b> <br />
2.  If you wish to decrease the number of widgets to three then simply delete this part of the code,<br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost"><span style="color: green;"><div id='lowerbar-wrapper'>          <br /><b:section class='lowerbar' id='<b>lowerbar4</b>' preferred='yes'>           <br /></b:section>           <br /></div></span></span><br />
<span class="fullpost"><span style="color: green;"> </span></span> <br />
<span class="fullpost"></span><br />
3.  Or if you wish to add an extra column then add the code below just above <span style="color: purple;"><b><div style='clear: both;'/></b></span><br />
<blockquote>
<div id='lowerbar-wrapper'>      <br />
<b:section class='lowerbar' id='<b>lowerbar#</b>' preferred='yes'>       <br />
</b:section>       <br />
</div></blockquote>
<br />
Remember that <b>lowerbar#</b> refers to the column number. So if you want to add a fifth column then simply replace  <b>lowerbar#</b> with <b>lowerbar5. </b><br />
After you have added the fifth column then remember to change <b><span style="color: #0080ff;">width: 23%;</span></b> with <b><span style="color: #0080ff;">width: 17%;</span></b><br />
You
 will repeat step 3 for as many columns as you wish to create. But three
 and four and five columns are a standard. Increasing them will make 
things look ugly.<br />

Telenor recently kicked off a campaign (read war) against all other 
operators by accusing them of stealing balance from mobile phone users.<br />
Telenor, with its blunt TVCs, claimed that all operators steal 
balance of their customers while Telenor, according to its TVC, is the 
only operator with most honest and transparent practices.<br />
In response to Telenor, Ufone has come up with a service that sends 
customers one SMS a day with daily summary of all the costs and charges 
that were deducted from the account on the previous day.<br />
This service, called Hisaab SMS, is sent to customers daily with not 
only call and SMS costs but details of all charges associated with any 
value added services (that a customer is subscribed to) are also shared.<br />
Here is a sample screen of Hisaab SMS:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most importantly, Hisaab SMS is free of charge and all Ufone prepaid 
customers are automatically subscribed to the service. Though they can 
unsubscribe it by calling helpline.<br />
Unlike Telenor – that just claimed to be the most honest operator – 
Ufone has shown us the perfect example of what the honesty and 
transparency is.<br />
We will have to see if Telenor has guts to be transparent enough to 
its customers by starting a similar service that clearly communicates 
all the charges that are deducted from customers?<br />
Just in case if you missed, below is Ufone’s TVC about Hisaab SMS:<br />

Sony is announcing a new budget-phone for the music-loving crowd with
 the Xperia E1. The phone is its first in a long time to come with a 
dedicated Walkman key and a crazy loud loudspeaker.<br />

The display you get upfront is 4″ large and comes with uninspiring 
800 x 480 resolution, which only reaffirms the phone’s starter status in
 the Xperia line-up. The 12mm thick body and the absence of a 
front-facing camera further clears any doubts left.<br />
Upon scratching the surface (just kidding) there is a 1.2Ghz 
dual-core SnapDragon MSM8210 processor with 512 MB RAM and 4 GB 
expandable storage.<br />

Around the back is a 3 mp camera with WVGA video recording. The 
biggest attraction there is the gargantuan loudspeaker capable of 
emitting sounds as much as 100dB loud. Coupled with that are the 
shake-to-shuffle controls and a dedicated Walkman key.<br />

Here are the full specs of the phone:<br />

<ul>
<li>Customized Android 4.3 Jelly Bean</li>
<li>4″ display with 480 x 800 resolution</li>
<li>120g heavy</li>
<li>12mm thick</li>
<li>Optional dual-sim compatibility</li>
<li>1.2Ghz dual-core SnapDragon MSM8210 processor</li>
<li>512 MB RAM and 4 GB expandable storage</li>
<li>3 mp rear-camera with WVGA video recording</li>
<li>100 dB loud speaker and dedicated Walkman button</li>
<li>microUSB, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0</li>
<li>Available in Black, White and Purple</li>
<li>1750 mAh battery</li>
</ul>
The phone will be released in the coming few weeks with an 
unannounced price tag. A dual-sim version will also follow later 
onwards.</div>

illegal SIMs, told RexHacker a high level official of a cellular 
company.<br />

Cellular companies, in response to the situation, has written a 
letter to PTA chairman explaining him the situation and requesting the 
authority to intervene for the sake of industry.<br />

Cellular companies are of the view that after deployment of <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/11/zong-starts-biometric-verification-of.html" target="_blank">biometric verification system</a>
 the chances of illegal sale of SIMs are almost none, however, 
franchises of cellular phone operators in Karachi are being harassed and
 threatened by CID officials.<br />

</div>
As many as 15 to 20 franchise owners were targeted by CIDs officials 
in Karachi and a few of them were arrested, detained and beaten 
brutally.<br />

Even worse, as claimed by cellular companies, CID demanded extortion 
of Rs 0.5 million to Rs 1 million for their release. Majority them were 
released in a day or two after getting the extortion money from 
franchisees.<br />

Cellular companies said that they have allowed LAEs to monitor / 
check / inspect any or all the equipment that could be used for illegal 
sale of SIMs, however, arrests and then demand for extortion for the 
release of franchisees is senseless.<br />

The letter – written by cellular operators to PTA chief — said, “The 
government is going to hold auction for “Next Generation Technology” 
licenses but its LEAs creating hurdles in the sales channels of mobile 
phone companies. In this way, how the government could ensure the 
compatible business climate for cellular phone operators if it expects 
billion of dollar investment.”<br />

Cellular phone companies mentioned that their officials help out LEAs
 for providing them with timely information about the criminals – 
through call records  — to curb the crime and terrorists activities but 
the attitude of LEAs particularly CID, in contrast, is discouraging for 
their business on other hand.<br />

Officials of the cellular operators have raised questions that if the
 CID officials should be made aware of the fact that no franchise can 
sell illegal SIMs now. As per new <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/11/zong-starts-biometric-verification-of.html" target="_blank">Biometric Verification system</a>
 — prescribed by PTA and deployed across all franchises in Karachi – 
SIMs are activated only after CNIC of customers is verified through 
thumb impression that is matched with NADRA’s record in real time.</div>
