Due to Government's structured approach of liberalisation, deregulation and privatisation, the telecommunication industry has shown a tremendous growth which can easily be judged by reviewing the amount of foreign investments and the decreasing percentage of unemployment.
No doubt the industry has started helping the economy of Pakistan in a great manner and also providing the opportunity for the people of Pakistan to enhance their quality of lifestyle.
Besides being praised within the country, Pakistan Telecom policies have also been recognised by international telecom organisations. Conferring on 'G-Rex Award 2005' to PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) by International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is an icon for international market's confidence in Pakistan Telecom Sector.
The ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau has not only appreciated PTA's contribution at the dialogue among regulators from all over the world but it has also recognised its high level participation in it.
Lately, Pakistan has been awarded "Government Leadership Award" by GSM Association during its moot at Barcelona, Spain. The GSM Association is a global trade association representing around 680 mobile operators. Pakistan is the second country after Brazil to be honoured with this Award.
