general
assessment: the domestic system is mediocre, but
improving; service is adequate for government and business use, in part
because major businesses have established their own private systems; since
1988, the government has promoted investment in the national
telecommunications system on a priority basis, significantly increasing
network capacity; despite major improvements in trunk and urban systems,
telecommunication services are still not readily available to the majority
of the rural population domestic: microwave radio relay, coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable, cellular, and satellite networks international: satellite earth stations - 3 Intelsat (1 Atlantic Ocean and 2 Indian Ocean); 3 operational international gateway exchanges (1 at Karachi and 2 at Islamabad); microwave radio relay to neighboring countries (1999) |
