kawalghai_chd 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2005 India’s leading private telecom companies Bharti and Reliance Infocomm will be partnering with Pakistan Telecom to lay a fibre optic network from Lahore to the Indo-Pak border at Wagah. The project was discussed at the Indo-Pak commerce secretary level talks here on Tuesday, during which New Delhi assured Islamabad that it would support the initiative, official sources told PTI. Pakistan Telecom is the only operator in that country and is keen to set up a link with India to bring down internet and data leased line costs. Currently Pakistan is connected to the world only through a single undersea optic fibre link, the South East Asia, Middle East and Western Europe-3. As per the designed feasibility, companies involved on both sides will get a share of the revenue under a commercial agreement. Commerce secretary SN Menon had said: “telecom networking between us would help close interaction between the citizens of the two nations.” —PTI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anujit 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2005 With RIM involved it obviously refers to stopping all interaction!!!! I'm sure its the India'n Govt's nefarious plan to screw up Pak's telecom industry by making them get into interconnect and service agreements with RIM. Who knows, RIM might offer them a "Monsoon Hungama"!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
