From the Blog ProPakistani: PTA Issues Procedures for MVNOs Numbering Plan - PTA Issues Procedures for MVNOs Numbering Plan is a post from: ProPakistani Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued draft of numbering procedures to be utilized by upcoming Mobile Virtual Network Operators ( MVNOs ) for their services to Pakistan's customers, we have confirmed with sources. MVNOs in collaboration with their partners Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) or cellular operators will further plan their numbers under the guidelines of the authority. PTA directed all interesting MVNOs to submit their numbering plans prior to commence their service operation keeping mandatory features in the subscribers numbers including Mobile country code (MCC), Mobile network code, (MNC), National destination code (NDC) along with geographic number as per ITU-T recommendations. 410 is the mobile country code for Pakistan 2-digit Mobile Network Code (MNC) = 00 to 99 2-digit National Destination Code (NDC) 03x where x = 0 to 9) MSIN (Mobile Station Identification Number) is allotted by mobile network operator The authority will allocate numbering block of 5000 numbers against previously allocated NDC of particular mobile operator to MVNOs against each city/district/location. MVNOs shall submit numbering utilization plan for requesting additional numbering block. PTA directed all cellular mobile operators to reserve the pool of numbers for MVNOs and pass on this information to PTA along with fees if applicable. MVNOs will submit advance annual number charges along with application processing fee for number allocation as per "Numbering administration & allocation regulations 2005". Sources in the PTA said that MVNOs are likely to obtain license this year as they have been exchanging detailed and persistent inquires with the authority regarding business environment of cellular sector in Pakistan. PTA's officials are very hopeful to introduce MVNOs in coming couple of years as operators with financially sound standing have been in the contact with the authority. PTA officials said the genuine MVNOs are likely to negotiate with operators once they finalize discussions on policy and regulations with PTA. Mobile operators, on the other hand, did not receive any satisfactory response from MVNOs. However, an MVNO, Friendi Mobile was engaged with Zong shunned its 100 million dollar deal in the same year subsequently PTA set the license fee. So far, not a single MVNO has started its business in the country since its policy framework had been rolled out in October 2009 . According to policy, the license fee was set at US$ 5 million for the period of 10-year, which was considered as astronomical high by the industry experts . The regulatory measures for development of MVNO's services were taken late in Pakistan. As per cellular phone policy 2004, the MVNO policy framework should have been issued in 2006, which was made public in 2009. After more than one years of policy, there is no report that MVNO has apparently shown interest to work in Pakistan though MVNOs have been growing significantly in other countries of the world.

Dell Inspiron Mini [Preview]
From the Blog ProPakistani: Dell Inspiron Mini [Preview] - Dell Inspiron Mini is a post from: ProPakistani Manufacturers: Dell Class: Inspiron Mini Model: Mini 10 Price: Rs.32,000 approx Specs Overview: Operating System: Win 7 Home Starter Processor: Intel atom 470 (1.8GHz) RAM: 1 GB DDR3 Hard Drive: 250 GB Battery: 6 cell, 7 hours max Display: 10.1" LED Display DVD-ROM: None Webcam: 1.3 MP Integrated Webcam Wireless: Wireless Network Card 802.11b/g/n Bluetooth: Dell Wireless Bluetooth Module Unlike the past reviews, this time I have decided to focus on something that is becoming the trend very fast. Being a student I have seen many other students leaving the big bulky laptops and going for minis or net book. So this week, we will try to find out if it's a system for you or not. Looks Stylish: This little machine obviously looks stylish. Its compact and small design is definitely worth a second look. Its design is based on the larger inspiron laptops. The ports and connectors are also placed neatly on the sides. There are no touch buttons on the keyboard like the usual laptops but still has accounted for that functionality in its keyboard keys. No Multi Tasking: In these mini machines, multi tasking can be done but not without difficulty. You can use programs like explorer, MS office and media player at one time but not anything heavier. Basically it can perform multi tasking for programs related to lighter office work only. You cannot even have two parallel installations sometimes. You can not open programs like Adobe Photoshop or any such heavier 2 or 3 programs at a time. It would not generate an error or anything but its performance would be very slow. Light as the Wind: The laptop is pretty impressive in terms of weight even with a six cell battery. It weighs hardly a KG. The smaller screen size also makes it easier to work for a longer time because it does not cause stress for your eyes. Carrying it around is almost as easy as carrying a cell phone with you. It would fit in a briefcase or a small carrying case with utmost ease. Overheating? Although I have used many systems myself, but I must say this is one of the best in terms of generating heat – because it does not get even a little hot after working continuously for 3,4 hours. I have seen people using it even in blankets or bed sheets and never complaining about the heat. (But this definitely does not mean that you should try this too) Windows 7 Starter: Most of you will have no experience using windows seven starter editions because usually Win 7 Basic or Win 7 Ultimate is used. Starter edition has some features missing as compared to other more expensive editions. I am not sure about how much starter costs or if it's even available but Win 7 Basic costs Rs. 7,500 and Win 7 Premium costs around Rs. 9,000. Some of the missing features are as weird as not having the ability to change your wallpaper. This thing, not being a problem, can be irritating for many users. Pre-Installed Software: There are some preinstalled software like Win 7 Starter, McAfee Anti virus and the basic programs that come preinstalled. In terms of software, this machine is not much to talk about. Good Speakers: The speakers are somewhat small but are good in terms of quality. Sound is usually not an issue and there is a headphone jack too in case you like to use head phones. Official Rating: 4/5 Underline: It is a good system for office, home and business applications but only if you don't have to run very heavy programs.
