In August 2024, Pakistan is getting ready to introduce faster and better mobile phone connections known as 5G. The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication is behind this plan. They're doing it because lots of people want quicker and more advanced ways to communicate.
Here's how they plan to do it: They're making a detailed business plan. They'll hire someone from another country to help with the project. They'll also create a special committee to decide how 5G will work in Pakistan. And they'll make rules about how to sell the rights to use the 5G airwaves.
They're looking at how other countries, like Bangladesh, did this and will learn from them. The important thing is that they won't just give the rights to one company without a fair process. They want to make sure it's fair and that it helps competition.
But before they can do all this, they need to change some things in the telecom (phone and internet) industry. There are some court cases about who should get the rights to use certain airwaves, and they want to fix that. They also want phone and internet companies to take part actively in the process.
To make it even easier for 5G to happen, they're making it simpler for companies to pay for it and to put in the necessary cables.
This 5G launch is a big deal. It's going to change how we talk to each other and use the internet. It will also open the door to new ideas in areas like healthcare, education, and transportation.
