[News] Warid trun Pakistani Technology into 4G LTE Publicly

Warid Telecom of Pakistan today went public with press ads (produced above) about its plans for going 4G LTE, to possibly become the first operator in the market to deploy 4G LTE network in the country.
A single sentenced message along with mention of 4G LTE clearly indicates that Warid is pretty much done with its homework and is now all set to go up with the 4G plans.
Despite not participating in recently held 3G / 4G auction, Warid has decided to go 4G LTE with its available spectrum that it had bought in 2004.
If you are not familiar with how they will do it, then go ahead and read our previous coverage on the same topic here.

While there were hints that Pakistan Telecommunication Authority might not allow Warid for deploying 4G LTE, today’s press ads hint that PTA and Warid have reached a settlement. We don’t have confirmations from PTA on this though.

Last we heard was that PTA might not allow Warid to deploy 4G since it could unbalance the industry. Moreover, according to IM for 3G and 4G licensees, no new operator would be allowed to launch 3G / 4G services for 18 months as part of government’s agreement with spectrum winners.
While we don’t have official confirmation on regulatory approvals, as we said above, it is now certain that against all odds Warid has managed to convince PTA for the 4G LTE deployments.
We know that Warid CEO was to meet with Chairman PTA during this week and apparently things went successful on Warid’s part.
If sources are to be believed then Warid is aiming to run the test on 4G LTE in last week of May 2014, while its already in process of deploying 4G LTE network in 5 cities, which it will announce after successful tests accordingly.
On a related note, Warid sent an SMS broadcast to its customers the other day to tell them that Warid will announce new data technologies in days to come.
Warid has currently around 12 million subscribers. It has 8.8Mhz spectrum from 1800Mhz band in addition to 5Mhz in 900Mhz band, which it had bought at the time of launch in 2004.
Not to mention, Zong has said that it may take several months to launch 4G network, however, this may change after Warid’s announcement today. Zong was only 4G spectrum winner in April’s 3G and 4G Auction.

Grow Your Business in Pakistan with Online Shopping

In Pakistan there are many shops and merchants selling all kinds of goods — be it clothes, shoes, jewellery, mobile phones or laptops — the variety and options are astounding. The problem however is one – lack of marketing spend and budget hence the lack of reach and awareness.

In this day and age being ‘out there’ and remaining visible is extremely important and with so many shops shouting about their products at the top of their lungs, those who aren’t heard quite frankly don’t exist in people’s mind.

This affects the sales, lower foot flow and lack of trust all that may lead to less revenue generation for the seller.

In such cases it is best for the seller to have an online presence – where having an online shopping website in Pakistan, or maybe even an informational website and accompanying social media campaign may do the trick.

Often the sellers may not have the funds or technical expertise to setup an online store for their business. Here comes the online marketplaces to get your worries go away.

There are currently many online shopping sites in Pakistan such as Kaymu.pk, Daraz and Symbios that offer a forum for sellers to sell their products online in Pakistan and have a chance to make additional sales by making use of this additional marketing channel.

Such e-commerce websites allow small sellers to build an online presence as well as acquire orders and build a larger market for their goods by selling their products online to customers all over country thus getting advantages from increasing trend of online shopping in Pakistan.

In this case it is important to specify that what the online market responds to – people shopping online in Pakistan have the opportunity to shop quite conveniently from a variety of websites, so, in order to be viable the product needs to be of great value, preferably cheaper than the market price.

Sellers need to choose products which they are willing to offer at a discount and decide the percentage of discount they can provide. A lucrative price and a unique product can be an irresistible combination for the customer, provided the method of buying and delivery is convenient.

Shopping websites offer easy delivery options and pay on delivery which allows them to buy/order online easily. When signing up with a shopping website in Pakistan, make sure to check their delivery services and their efficacy; how quick they are and what their customer service is like.

Online buying and selling has recently become a great way to expand your business online in Pakistan; it is virtually cost free and can open up a new market for your goods helping you progress to the next step in terms of your retail business.

Samsung and Apple Slide Down in Smartphone Marketshare, Lenovo Emerges

According to the new report by International Data Corporation (IDC), Samsung and Apple are currently the top manufacturers in the smartphone hierarchy right now, as before, but their lead has slid down notably in the last quarter.

Compared to same quarter of 2012, where both the manufacturers sold 32.2% and 16.6% of the smartphones worldwide, they topped out at only 30.4% and 13.1% this time around.

Sales increased though, obviously, topping out at 72.4 and 31.2 million units respectively, compared to 50.3 and 26 million of the year before.

HTC and Huawei dropped out from the top 5 manufacturers’ list altogether while Lenovo was a surprise entry in the list. The Chinese company sold 11.3 million units and attained a marketshare of 4.7%, unbelievably close to LG, which holds a marketshare of 5.1%.

Apple’s dropping sales were not unexpected, especially since a new leak of the so-called “budget iPhone” comes out almost everyday but in Samsung’s case, it does look awkward, curiously coming after the launch of the numerous versions of its Galaxy S4 flagship.

The overall smartphones sales were 237.9 million units. The case for Nokia shouldn’t be dissimilar from Apple, since this was the time period when it launched its Lumia 1020 flagship.
