The cellular phone operators companies have added 2.367 million new subscribers on their respective networks in the first five months of the current fiscal year 2009-10 despite having witnessed correction of SIM data base in the recent months.
According to the latest statistics updated by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the overall cellular phone connections have raised to 96.7 million with the teledensity touching 59.03 percent by the end of November 2009.
The cellular subscriber’s growth squeezed after millions of unregistered connections were blocked by the authorities and operators following the launch of SIM Information System. The user’s base was shrinking every next month owing to saturation of market coupled with the correction of subscriber’s base.
Although the new system was introduced officially in mid October, the subscriber’s based widened only by 10,452 connections this month, however the operators successfully recovered their losing users and added 0.790 million in the single month of November.
Since the launch of new SIM Information System-668, a massive number of SIMs were found unregistered by Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC), to counter this mismanagement users and cellular phone operators had to be involved in this campaign to block unwanted or extra SIMs and reissue it to the existing user by rectifying subscribers’ data.
