  • A Comparative Study on Total Factors Productivity Performance of Cellular Firms in Pakistan
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON TOTAL FACTORS PRODUCTIVITY PERFORMANCE OF CELLULAR FIRMS IN PAKISTAN Shumaila Hashim1 and Khair-Uz-Zaman2 1Department of Business Administration and 2Department of Economics, Gomal University, D.I.Khan, KPK, Pakistan ABSTRACT This study empirically measures the total factors productivity (TFP) of three cellular firms i.e. Paktel, Pakcom and Mobilink operating in Pakistan. For the purpose of analysis, time series data (2000q1-2006q2) has been taken. For all three firms TFP is taken as dependent variable while output, teledensity, geographical areas covered and competition were taken as independent variables. By using the multiple regression models in log-linear form we obtained the positive and significant impact of all variables in all cases except competition that showed its impact negative in case of Paktel and Pakcom and geographical area that was insignificant in case of Mobilink. _________________________________________________________________ entrance of multinational cellular firms INTRODUCTION since 1990 till 2007 served as stepping Advancement in infrastructure especially stones in the growth of Pakistan in telecommunication sector is very telecommunication sector. important for any economy.

  • 3G Mobile Spectrum – Issues & Prospects
    SBP Research Bulletin Volume 8, Number 1, 2012 3G Mobile Spectrum – Issues & Prospects Sabina Khurram Jafri* Pakistan’s mobile sector has seen enormous growth after the telecom deregulation in 2004 – cellular revenues reached Rs 262.8 billion in FY11 compared to the level of mere Rs 19.8 billion in FY03, whereas cell phone density rose to 65 percent in FY11 compared to 1.6 percent in 2003. However, the intense competition among the five cell companies – Mobilink, Telenor, Ufone, Warid and Zong has not only resulted in a steep fall in cell tariffs, but has also led to a sharp and consistent fall in overall cellular revenue growth. Importantly, the Average Revenue per User (ARPU) in Pakistan is one of the lowest in the region. Lower cell tariffs though augur well for consumer welfare; the consistent decline in revenue growth is a sign of stagnation in the cell phone market and reflects badly for overall contribution of this sector in economic growth.1 The reversal of this trend needs introduction of value added services, as promised by 3G mobile technology. This technology has the potential of not only boosting cellular companies’ business but also contributing to national exchequer in the form of license fees and increased corporate income and sale taxes. In this context, this note investigates the case for introducing 3G technology in Pakistan and suggests some measures that can improve the outcome of the auction of 3G licenses. What is 3rd Generation Mobile Technology? 3G mobile telecommunication is a generation of standards for mobile phones fulfilling the International Mobile Telecommunications specifications by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).2 The development of mobile technologies can be divided into several generations, each with improved air and network interface standards, enabling better performance.
