Telenor 3G Service Review in Pakistan

Telenor Pakistan, with its new 3G services, is presently second largest among the six major mobile service providers in Pakistan. It is a subsidiary of Telenor Group, which is a multinational Norwegian company in the telecommunications. It is one of the world’s largest companies of mobile telecommunications.

Telenor is also the most rapid growing cellular network in Pakistan, probably as a result of their great aggression in marketing and their advertising campaign.

Telenor 3G service started rolling out after winning a 3G spectrum license in an auction and was issued with 15 year valid 3G spectrum of 2x5 MHz in the band of 2100MH.

The 3G service arrival depicted the commencement of a new age of network connectivity in Pakistan. Before 3G service, merely 1 in every 10 Pakistani had internet access. While Telenor 35 million consumers in Pakistan were previously using the 2G, the number has significantly soared as a result of introduction of the new 3G services that cover 75 percent of its population.

The recent increased penetration of the 3G service is already gradually generating tangible economic benefits. Recently GSMA conducted a study which revealed that a substitution of 10 percent from the 2G network to 3G network increased the GDP per capita growth by approximately 0.2 percent.

The group further predicted that the deployment of 3G mobile services by Telenor, the second largest service provider this year will probably play a crucial role in Pakistan’s socioeconomic development since the present tele-density of cellular mobiles recently crossed 73 percent score in the country last November.

The only major disadvantage is that it does not cove the whole Pakistani region.
