New theory addresses frozen Earth paradox
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Pakistan has vowed to not roll back new telecommunications policies that improved transparency and consistency in the sector.
IT Minister Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari told a conference in Islamabad this week that the government had no desire to derail growth that has made Pakistan the second-fastest growing telecom market in the world after China.
"The government has broken the inertia and put in place a system that will not be reversed by any future government," Awais said, according to a report in Friday's Pak Times.
Awais said Pakistan's rapid telecom growth could be credited to deregulation and privatization along with the establishment of a universal service fund to finance infrastructure growth in the countryside.
In addition, he said, the investor-friendly policies the government has implemented had made Pakistan a desirable place for foreign capital.
