China is a vital market for Microsoft's Web search business...Microsoft

Tweet Pin It SHANGHAI (December 30 2009): China is a vital market for Microsoft's Web search business, as it chases leaders Baidu Inc and Google in the world's biggest Internet market, the world's largest software maker said. Since launching its English-language Bing search site in June, Microsoft has been gaining steady share in the United States, with 10.3 percent in November versus 17.5 percent for Yahoo and 65.6 percent for dominant player Google, according to comScore.

Microsoft hopes to get off to a similar fast start with its Chinese-language Bing site, which is still in its beta phase following a low-key launch in June. "Microsoft is committed to the China market and the search market in China is the most important strategic market for Microsoft," the company said on Tuesday in emailed responses to questions from Reuters. China's Internet market is a hot spot for global search companies looking to expand overseas, but localisation issues and tough domestic competition have made it tough to crack for global titans such as Yahoo, eBay and Amazon.

PTA Issues Quality of Service (QoS) Parameters for Improving Fixed Broadband and Cellular Data Services

Tweet Pin It Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) has formulated two sets of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) to improve and monitor the Quality of Service (QoS) of “Fixed Broadband” and “GPRS/EDGE” networks.

The objective of introducing these KPIs is to create transparency and set monitor-able standards in fixed broadband and GPRS/EDGE services hence ensuring consumers’ satisfaction. Extensive consultations with the relevant operators and stakeholders were carried out for the development of these QoS parameters. The KPIs were finalized after discussing the varying views in detail with all concerned bodies which were incorporated in the final version. The document has also been made available on PTA’s website (www.pta.gov.pk).

The KPIs have been developed through keeping in view their Applicability, Possibility of End-to-End testing (non-intrusive for network under test), Ease of measurement, Ease of understanding for a field testing person, similar treatment of rural and urban regions in terms of service offerings and a push for future improvement in wireless broadband networking. The KPIs’ suite envelops parameters like Network Availability, Service availability, link speed, retainability, bandwidth, contention ratio, round trip time, tariff comparison, customer service complaints, billing complaints and service provisioning complaints, as appropriate.

It may be mentioned that GPRS (General Packet Radio service) and EDGE (Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution) are GSM wireless packet data transfer standards commonly referred to as 2.5G and 2.75G respectively. Using these networks; services like internet connectivity, Push-based email solutions with attachment facility, Pull-based services, instant Messenger etc are being offered to help in accessing personal or official information while roaming locally or globally. Better GPRS/EDGE networks are also necessary for introduction of more innovative Value Added Services (VAS) in future.

PTA has been striving to serve the telecom and ICT sector of Pakistan for its growth and development through different initiatives. Introduction of KPI’s for Broadband Services is an effort to achieve PTA’s vision of “Protecting Consumer Interest and ensuring high Quality ICT services”.

PTCL is denying the rights of private Internet Service Providers (ISPs)

Tweet Pin It

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL) is denying the rights of private Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to install broadband DSL connections to their customers using PTCL’s copper line network.

ISP Association of Pakistan (ISPAK) stated this during a press statement on Tuesday. ISPAK stated that for the last five days, PTCL has not been connecting ISP customers’ DSL connections on the pretext that it was making the provisioning system automated. This move has left hundreds of new customers without a broadband connection across the country for the last many days.

ISPAK stated that under the agreement and standard operating procedure, PTCL has to connect a new connection within 48 hours, but PTCL has been denying the rights of ISPs. Insiders tell that since PTCL is operating its own retail broadband DSL services and wants to attract the customers to its own network, it is creating delays in connections of its competitor ISPs. ISPs and PTCL have a history of bitter relations with formers accusing the only fixed line operator to adopt strong-arm tactics, anti-competitive behaviour, and predatory pricing. staff report

online facility for overseas Pakistanis to get their SIMs data regularised by PTA

Tweet Pin It ISLAMABAD): Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has introduced an online facility for overseas Pakistanis to get their SIMs data regularised or to block the extra SIMs/connections issued against their Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC), says a press release issued by PTA here on Thursday.

This automated facility has been made available on the websites of PTA and all cellular mobile operators. Since the successful launch of "SIM Information System 668" more than 12.6 million mobile subscribers have sought their SIM information through this system, of which 9.2 million queries were received through SMS whereas 3.4 million through PTA's SIM Information System.

An analysis revealed that around 60 percent of the total web queries were being made by the Pakistani community living abroad. Written requests of overseas Pakistanis have also being received to facilitate them in lodging their complaints and getting extra SIMs issued against their CNICs be removed. Overseas Pakistanis can now visit

Third Party Mobile Banking Regulations: PTA, SBP likely to finalise draft in a month

Tweet Pin It

ISLAMABAD : Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) are likely to finalise draft of the "Third Party Mobile Banking Regulations" within a month. This was stated by PTA Chairman Dr Muhammad Yaseen, while addressing a joint press conference with Head of Sub-region Gulf and Pakistan Nokia Siemens Network Waqar-ul-Islam, while introducing the 2009 Connectivity Scorecard here on Wednesday.

"The PTA is closely working with the SBP on the draft of the "Third Party Mobile Banking Regulations," which will connect all banks in the country with the cellular mobile operators for mobile transaction," said the PTA Chairman.

He said that the primary objective of these collaborations was to develop a unified regulatory framework to facilitate the telecom customers and banking sector, since the mobile banking involved both financial institutes and mobile phone operators.

Dr Yaseen said that currently Pakistan had overall 63 percent teledensity, while it had great potential for broadband proliferation. "At present, there are around 0.5 million broadband subscribers across the country," he said. Responding to a question about 3G Services, he said that the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom (MoIT & T) was working on the policy for issuing 3G licences. The PTA had completed groundwork and would initiate the licencing process soon after it received policy from the ministry, he said.

Commenting on the study "Connectivity Scorecard 2009" commissioned by Nokia Siemens Networks and written by Professor Waverman, fellow of the London Business School and the consulting group LECG, Dr Yaseen said that it was always important to have a reference to measure the growth, performance and to enhance the working strategies of any sector.

Syed Waqarul Islam claimed that the gross domestic product (GDP) would grow by six percent if the Information Communications Technologies (ICT) grew by 10 percent. He said the Connectivity Scorecard 2009, measured the extent to which the governments, businesses and consumers in 50 countries made use of connectivity technologies to enhance economic and social prosperity.

He said the results showed that even the best-connected countries in the world had no reason for complacency when it came to use of the Information Communication Technologies (ICT). "At present, when the governments around the world are looking to boost their economies with a variety of stimulus packages, the Connectivity Scorecard shows that everyone of them, even the most developed, has plenty of room to develop the ICT infrastructure and improve its actual use to develop economy and society," he added.

"Communication networks are of 21st century and these networks are very large construction programmes. There is great potential for them in using the ICT to encourage growth," he said. The Connectivity Scorecard was unique in broadening the definition of connectivity to include not just infrastructure, but also how effectively that infrastructure was being used, he said, adding that this "useful connectivity" measure illuminated the extent to which the countries were harnessing the potential of the ICT.

"The concept of useful connectivity was a reminder that the technology alone will not solve economic or social problems, rather it is a tool that could be used to achieve those aims. Judiciously applied that tool could be extremely powerful and the Connectivity Scorecard acts as an important guide to where and how the countries might apply it to achieve the desired results," said Waqar.

He said the rankings were determined by the measurement of each country by using two criteria - infrastructure and usage skills - in the realms of business and government. Low scores reflected gaps in a country's infrastructure, usage of skills or both, he said.

For each of the six components of the Scorecard, the countries were benchmarked against the best in class in their tier; thus if a country was best in all dimensions, it would score a maximum of 10. The Scorecard, therefore, measured the countries against the best ICT usage that currently existed rather than an ideal model, he said.

Speaking on the occasion, Saad Waraich, Afghanistan and Pakistan Country Director, said that the Nokia Siemens Networks had commissioned the study, which was the first of its kind to rank the countries not only on their deployment of the ICT infrastructure, but also on the extent to which people, governments and businesses put this infrastructure to economically productive use.

Nokia 2710 navigation edition lands

Tweet Pin It

KARACHI : At a launching ceremony held in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, Nokia has unveiled the latest device in the company's range focused on mapping and navigation, the Nokia 2710 Navigation Edition. The new arrival is GPS enabled and pre-loaded with Nokia Maps, making it the most affordable GPS device in Nokia's broad portfolio. It will be available in the second quarter of 2010.

Mobile phone navigation has just changed forever with the announcement of the Nokia 2710 Navigation Edition. With Nokia Maps pre-loaded, along with local maps for the region it’s on sale in, this is the most affordable navigation device ever to come out of Nokia. With an estimated retail price starting at €110 navigation has never been so affordable.

This device is aimed at the developing world, but that isn’t to say it won’t be making an appearance in the developed world either. Thanks to the on board GPS and digital compass, this device is as at home in the city as it is in the country. On board maps are accompanied by turn-by-turn driving navigation with full voice guidance. In selected countries, the device will ship with local maps, stored on an included 2GB memory card, so users won’t even have to go online to access maps.

The Nokia 2710 Navigation Edition will also come with a car charger and a car cradle (pictured above) along with a lifetime navigation license.

The GPRS handset boast a 2.2-inch screen, 2-megapixel camera and enough storage for 1,000 phonebook entries. It also sports Ovi Mail and Instant Messaging and it’ll keep the tunes turning with an MP3 player and FM radio. It also has a 3.5mm AV connector. The device will go for up to 18 days between charges in standby mode and will give up to four hours and 20 minutes talk time.

Expected to ship in the second quarter of 2010, the device will retail for an estimated €110.

Nokia 2710 Navigation Edition focused on mapping and navigation

Tweet Pin It At a launch event held in the Egyptian capital Cairo, Nokia has unveiled the latest device in the company’s range focused on mapping and navigation, the Nokia 2710 Navigation Edition. The new arrival is GPS enabled and pre-loaded with Nokia Maps, making it the most affordable GPS device in Nokia’s broad portfolio.

It will be available in the second quarter of 2010 estimated to cost, before taxes and subsidies, €110.

Due to the accessible and affordable pricing, the new device is expected to be popular in the developed and developing world alike. The handset has been optimized for use across urban environments, small towns, as well as rural areas – incorporating straight line pedestrian navigation with the assistance of an integrated digital compass. Straight line technology allows people a comprehensive range of mobile navigation capabilities for use across pathless terrains. Other features include turn-by-turn driving navigation with full voice guidance, which recalibrates routes depending on the driver’s current GPS location, all accessed with a convenient dedicated navigation key.

“There is a clear trend to provide navigation, mapping and other location based services to mobile phones, and having mapping and location based services integrated in one single mobile device rather than buying two devices is a great benefit” says Alex Lambeek, Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. “Of course, when bringing this experience to new people, new prices and new countries, you need to make sure the experience is optimized and locally relevant. With Nokia Maps, Nokia provides the broadest navigation coverage of any competitor and we continue to add new countries all the time.”

As the cost and availability of data connections is sometimes limited, relevant maps are included on the device to save cost and make sure that just because you don’t have an Internet connection, your device isn’t rendered useless.


At the same event, Nokia also showcased its recently announced range of new affordable and easy-to-use mobile phones in the Nokia 1280, Nokia 1616, Nokia 1800, Nokia 2220 slide and Nokia 2690. Starting at an estimated price of €20 before taxes and subsidies, the new range is ideal for consumers the world over.

"We believe in offering a broad portfolio that caters to a wide variety of needs. This full device range will serve a broad spectrum of people, empower entrepreneurs and provide consumers with knowledge, entertainment and the ability to connect with friends and family,” continues Lambeek. “Services like Nokia Life Tools and Ovi Mail offer consumers a whole new range of opportunities, including getting their first digital identity, without the need for a PC. With our longstanding commitment to emerging markets, people in rural areas will be able to access information which helps them make informed decisions and has a positive and lasting impact on their lives."
