ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is set to finalize its regulatory framework for satellite internet services, a significant step towards enhancing digital connectivity across the nation. The government has also established a target to increase mobile tower fiberisation to at least 60%, aiming to bolster the country’s telecommunications infrastructure.

Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja announced these developments during the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) Symposium. She emphasized the importance of these initiatives in bridging the digital divide and improving internet access for all citizens.

This move is expected to have far-reaching implications for Pakistan’s economy and society, as improved internet connectivity can facilitate better access to information, education, and business opportunities. Enhanced digital infrastructure is crucial for fostering innovation and attracting foreign investment in the technology sector.

Looking ahead, the government plans to implement the regulatory framework swiftly, with further discussions scheduled at upcoming telecommunication conferences. Stakeholders are optimistic that these initiatives will lead to a more connected and technologically advanced Pakistan.
