Expected Prices of 3G and 4G for Customers in Pakistan
3G and 4G technologies are not expected to be cheaper for the telecom customers in Pakistan. Telecom companies are expected to bid for the license of 3G and 4G. The highest bidder will win the license.
How are Telecom companies going to recover this investment put into the bidding for the license? It really is simple. They will be taking out this money from the customer’s pockets.
With the arrival of 3G and 4G technologies, e-commerce, e-banking, e-learning and other e-services will benefit to a very large scale in Pakistan. For some people, it really is a necessity and they are ready to pay any amount in order to get 3G and 4G so that they can get their work done on the go with the help of their mobile.
For the rest of us, 3G and 4G will practically be of no use for quite a long time. Normally for 2G mobile internet, a customer is charged with 15-20 Rupees. 3G and 4G can be imagined much expensive than 2G internet.
In neighbor countries of the world, 3G is expensive as well and mobile operators are trying to benefit financially from 3G. For example in UAE, for 1 GB data of 3G internet costs 100 Dirhams. It is equal to 2600 Rupees in Pakistan. 5 GB data of 3G internet is provided in 250 Dirhams that makes it around 6600 Rupees in Pakistan.
Now it is really easy to estimate how expensive 3G and 4G technologies in Pakistan will be. Although with an expanding customer base, it is expected that 3G and 4G will be available in cheap packages but it will certainly take time, around 3-5 years before anyone can easily make use of this technology.
