Mobile phone services will not be suspended on Eid-ul-Fitr, reported <a href="http://tribune.com.pk/story/586773/cellular-services-not-to-be-suspended-on-eid/" target="_blank">Express Tribune</a>, while quoting Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.<br />
Earlier there were doubts that mobile phone might get suspended on 
the occasion of Eid due to security threats. This was looking more 
possible with recent mobile phone service blockade on Youm-e-Ali on 21st Ramadan.<br />
Recent reports, however, clarify that mobile phone services are to largely remain open on Eid.<br />
At the same time the Minister Interior has hinted that the provincial
 governments could suspend cellular services if they felt the security 
situation demanded it.<br />
It merits mentioning here that Eid days are one of those busiest days
 for telecom operators when their traffic spikes go up to 10-15 folds of
 usual day traffic.<br />
Telecom operators had to bear hefty losses last year when mobile and 
wireless service were suspended on Eid Day on directions of Mr. Rehman 
Malik, then Interior Minister.<br />
It maybe recalled that cellular operators oppose such forced mobile 
suspensions and have urged the government to take alternate measures to 
tackle security situation.<br />
In a related news, majority of mobile operators will not be offering 
SMS and minutes bundles during Eid days. We will be offering you more 
details on this in a separate post.</div>

Pakistan
 has decide to invite the global manufacturers to get their assembly 
plants installed in Pakistan, reported APP, a state owned news agency.<br />
Without unveiling any manufacturer, the report said that Pakistan is 
in efforts to get a laptop assembly plant running in the country to meet
 local demands primarily and then to export laptops to foreign nations 
in future.<br />
The decision was taken during a meeting for the implementation of 
Prime Minister Youth Laptop Scheme under the chairmanship of Higher 
Education Commission (HEC) Chairperson, Dr Javaid R. Leghari.<br />
It merits mentioning here that earlier it was announced by the 
government that some 300,000 laptops will be distributed to bright 
students acquiring higher education at the federal universities.<br />
It was decided that instead of buying such huge quantity of laptops 
from a single manufacturer, laptop makers will be asked to setup their 
assembly plant – if not manufacturing facility – in Pakistan.<br />
For the purpose, in the meeting it was decided, to hold an 
international conference of the potential bidders for establishing 
laptop assembling and manufacturing plant.<br />
The assembling plant would also help facilitate the distribution of 
laptop to selected students, as per Prime Minister’s Youth Laptop 
Scheme.<br />
The meeting discussed the modalities of implementing the laptop 
scheme recently announced by the government in the annual budget to 
acknowledge the outstanding performance of the bright young students.<br />
Chairman HEC, Dr Javaid Leghari said HEC was tasked to design the 
implementation strategy and form eligibility criteria in a transparent 
manner to promote outreach of youth to information and communication 
technology.<br />
It maybe recalled that over 100,000 laptops were distributed to 
college and university students last year in Punjab under Chief 
Minister’s Youth Laptop scheme.<br />

WhatsApp today announced that it is adding voice messaging feature for its 300 million active users.<br />
With this new feature, WhatsApp users will be able to send voice to 
their contacts from various platforms. WhatsApp said that its voice 
message feature is instantly available on all platforms, including iOS, 
Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone and Nokia.<br />
WhatsApp said that sending a voice message is easy and all voice 
messages are downloaded automatically on receiver’s smartphone. Users 
can then play this message by just clicking the play button.<br />
Just to mention, WhatsApp now has <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20130806/the-quiet-mobile-giant-with-300m-active-users-whatsapp-adds-voice/" target="_blank">more than 300 million active users</a>
 who send 11 billion messages and receive 20 billion messages per day 
(counted separately because some messages are sent to more than one 
recipient). Moreover, WhatsApp users share 325 million photos per day.<br />
It maybe recalled that many Chat apps already offer Voice messaging 
feature. WhatsApp, however, believes that it has tried to making voice 
messaging simpler and easier with a single tap instead of multiple taps 
in other chat apps.<br />
Moreover, WhatsApp also contends to have support for more platforms 
than all other chatting apps, and that’s where WhatsApp wins despite 
simpler and boring GUI.</div>

Buy PTCL Evo This Week And Get 50 Percent Lifetime Discount

This is probably the best offer PTCL could giveaway to its customers this Eid. They are offering EVO and EVO Wingle
 connections for 50 percent of its original monthly rental, and that too
 forever. To get this lifetime discount, you will have to buy EVO or EVO
 Wingle during 9th August 2013 to 16th August 2013.<br />
After discount, new prices for Evo and Evo Wingle Unlimited will be as following:<br />
<b>Discounted Prices</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Evo Unlimited:
<ul>
<li>Old Price: Rs. 2,100 per month</li>
<li>Discounted Price: Rs. 1,050</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Evo Wingle Unlimited:
<ul>
<li>Old Price: Rs. 2,500</li>
<li>Discounted Price: Rs. 1,250</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Just to mention, EVO unlimited package is now capped at 50 GB per month.
 Despite this, broadband wireless on the go for around Rs. 1,000 is 
amazing. Too amazing I would say for the customers. However, such an 
aggressive move by PTCL might hurt the industry. Exactly like it did 
back in 2009 when PTCL had doubled the DSL speeds for their broadband subscribers for the first time.<br />
Since there’s no effective Pakistan Telecommunication Authority – which can question the company for such price reductions as its significant market player – PTCL is enjoying the freedom and transferring the benefit to the customers.<br />
In a related news, PTCL president recently sent an email to its 
employees and said that company is aiming for 2 million broadband 
customers by year end. It looks like the plan has begun and targets are 
on the roll. But I will say the genius customers will throw away their 
old accounts and will buy EVO devices this week to retain lifetime 
discount.<br />
<b>How to Get EVO and Evo Wingle:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Walk-in at any PTCL One Stop Shop</li>
<li>Order booking through 1236 for home delivery</li>
</ul>
<b>Terms:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Promotion is applicable for purchases made between 9<sup>th</sup> to 16<sup>th</sup> August 2013.</li>
<li>Promotion is valid for new sales on EVO & Wingle Unlimited packages only.</li>
<li>Promotion is valid for postpaid and prepaid subscribers.</li>
<li>Offer is not applicable for package conversions</li>
<li>Orders can be placed at OSS, Call Center by calling 1236 and through FSAs</li>
</ul>

ISI is Alleged to Had Taken Control of Largest Indian Telco by Fooling an Employee

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tOSVaHr2dek/UgN4UpGlU_I/AAAAAAAADCY/Mg0GyRAVAVc/s1600/india-pakistan_Military_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="ISI is Alleged to Had Taken Control of Largest Indian Telco by Fooling an Employee" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tOSVaHr2dek/UgN4UpGlU_I/AAAAAAAADCY/Mg0GyRAVAVc/s1600/india-pakistan_Military_thumb.jpg" title="" /></a></div>

Indian
 Intelligence Agency has alleged that ISI, Pakistan’s secret service, 
has successfully penetrated and snooped Indian state-owned Bharat 
Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) and also installed spyware in the telco’s 
system to take control of its entire system, say various <a href="http://www.livemint.com/Industry/ZoQivrvfFjfOJV74NGaW8K/Did-Pakistans-ISI-penetrate-BSNLs-systems.html" target="_blank">Indian publishers</a>.<br />
Indian secret agency believes that someone from Pakistan posing as 
Major Vijay from Indian Army headquarters had called up a BSNL employee 
in February this year, and followed it up by email communication with 
the staffer to obtain critical information.<br />
The home ministry is of the view that this email communication led to
 the ISI successfully installing malware on BSNL’s networks, and this 
may have contaminated the telco’s computer systems and compromised the 
integrity and security of the system.<br />
According to the report, Indian home ministry is fearing that the 
spyware might have enabled ISI to identify and access communication 
links of sensitive organizations.<br />
Furthermore, the report suggests that the same malware might have 
given Pakistan the ability to remotely monitor BSNL’s networks and 
operations, providing the ISI with the capability of disabling critical 
networks. <br />
<div class="two_third">
Report – which is based on documents released by Indian secret agency – wasn’t confirmed independently by the publisher.<br />
Report said that ISI operative used VoIP spoofing to change the number when he called BSNL employee.<br />
However, it doesn’t mention if IP address of the email communication of alleged Pakistani operative was spoofed as well or not.</div>
<br />
<div class="one_third column-last">
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #339966;"><i><b>This is not the first time that Indians have alleged Pakistan and its ISI just to spoil the names and to cover its own misdeeds.</b></i></span></blockquote>
</div>
Moreover, report doesn’t clarify that why BSNL employee didn’t notify
 his line manager before giving out sensitive information – that could 
give away controlling rights of the entire telco – to an unknown army 
officer, with whom he/she was communicating for the first time.<br />
This is not the first time that Indians have alleged Pakistan and its ISI just to spoil the names and to cover its own misdeeds.<br />
It will be interesting to mention here that Indian army and secret agencies earlier this year <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-23455128" target="_blank">mistook two planets</a>
 for Chinese spy drones.  Indian Army, reportedly, spent six months 
watching “Chinese spy drones” violating its air space, only to find out 
they were actually Jupiter and Venus.</div>
