PTCL & DSL Operators Interconnect Agreement for Provisioning Broadband Services

by in Mobile Phone, News & Politics

PTCL and DSL Operators have signed a DSL agreement for provision of broadband services under the auspices of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA). The signing ceremony was held at PTA HQs, Islamabad where Chairman PTA, Dr. Mohammed Yaseen, Member (Finance) Syed Nasrul Karim Ghaznavi, Member (Technical) Dr. Khawar Siddique Khokhar, Senior representatives of PTCL and DSL operators were present.

Under this agreement, DSL operators will now have a choice to acquire IP bandwidth from any other operator in addition to PTCL which will enable DSL operators to offer broadband services at competitive tariffs.

It may be mentioned that PTCL and DSL operators were unable to reach consensus on some of the issues such as permissibility to DSL operators to lease bandwidth from other private operators, laying of fiber in PTCL collocation sites, prices and discounts offered by PTCL for domestic and international bandwidth and provisioning of VPN services.Resultantly, the DSL interconnect agreement was pending for quite some time.

Taking cognizance of the issue, several meetings under the supervision of PTA were held between PTCL and DSL operators to resolve these issues. PTA also carried out detailed consultation with PTCL and DSL operators regarding finalization of DSL Interconnect agreement.

Chairman PTA said that owing to this agreement and resulting competition broadband tariffs will be reduced significantly. This would not only attract new broadband subscribers but would also motivate dialup users to shift to broadband services thereby increasing the broadband penetration in Pakistan.

by in Other

The Pakistan Telecommunications Company Limited (PTCL), has mad an investment of US$ 50 million in submarine cable, being a part of a consortium that will put in place a high-capacity fiber-optic submarine cable, stretching from India to Italy and France via the Middle East.

The consortium of nine leading telecom operators signed the Construction and Maintenance Agreement (C&MA) and the Supply Contract of the fiber-optic cable named I-ME-WE (India, Middle East, Western Europe), which will be the fifth in a series of similar systems.

The cable design covers a distance of almost 14,000 kilometers and the system is likely to be available for service by the end of 2009. The system will have a capacity of 3.84 terabits per second.

PTCL and the other members of the consortium intend for this system to meet the ever growing capacity requirement of Asia, the Middle East and Europe besides satisfying the capacity needs of the USA to these regions as well.

The nine companies that form the consortium include Bharti (India), Etisalat (UAE), France Telecom (France), Ogero (Lebanon), PTCL (Pakistan), STC (Saudi Arabia), Telecom Egypt (Egypt), Telecom Italia Sparkle (Italy) and VSNL (India).

Sher Bahadar Khan, Executive Vice President of PTCL stated that this project was an important addition designed to cater to the ever growing capacity requirements towards the Middle East and the western countries with Pakistan in general and PTCL in particular.

He stated that this project will also play a pivotal role to provide effective resilience to the existing cable systems (SMW3 & SMW4) available with PTCL to provide flawless communication to its esteemed customers within and outside of Pakistan. This entire venture was, of course, a result of the untiring teamwork of the consortium member countries to achieve the target, he added.

Earlier, the Chairman of the Interim Management Committee of the IMEWE Consortium, Mr. K P Tiwari, expressed his deep appreciation to all parties involved for their devotion, commitment, and untiring effort over the past year and a half in effectively addressing various challenges and making this project a reality and successful.
