Several points needs addressing for the guidance of those who are planning a career in Technology exports in the light of last few posts
1. I have known of no private firm in the world who has developed the infrastructure in a Country. It has always been the public sector who provides the infrastructure. However, only very recently, cross country infrastructures are taken up by private companies, but please have a look at these companies, these are companies with muti billion pound balance sheets. In Pakistan, there is no such company in existence at this time, so lets be realistic and ask the govt. to come forward for infrastucture.
2. Its good that one can get broadband with in hours, but who installed the fibre optic or cooper for this. The private sector or the Govt? answer is Govt. without this infrastrucute you would not get broadband in hours.
PTCL and BPO
If anybody is actively damaging the prospects of BPO, itâs the PTCL. You might not have had the experience of implementing VoIP or mission critical applications using PTCL networks. PTCL doesnot allow such implementations. Why? Cuz it dilutes their own revenues,
this is such a forum that I do expect peopel to be wise enough not to speak on verbal notes or isolated experiences. Unless you have been a part of this industry trying to implement new solutions, you wont know where do we stand in the international arena and yes praise be to the GOVT.
I didnot try to undermine the Govt. or anybody on this forum, but I tried to give an honest and sincere opinion. Its my duty to inform you of the true situation, whether you take a note or not is up to you.
Thanks
