Internet is no doubt malmsey for us at this age of communication. From time to time different development has been carried out in this field which gives path for further proliferation. Started its journey from a simple dial-up connection & now going with state of the art 4G, LTE high performance wireless data standard. These days the most advanced platform for the provision of internet connectivity is Broadband DSL. But however when it comes to portability Wi-Fi, UMTS, Wi-Max, iBurst & 802.16 are the terminologies that are mostly use for speedy mobile internet connectivity.

If we look at the growth of high speed internet in Pakistan. We see that there is a lot of potential in this area. Although PTCL & few other Broadband internet companies are doing well in this field but still a huge space is to be filled. Tariffs, coverage & the quality of services are the areas that needed attention in this industry. Wimax a new concept of highly speed internet is already launched by wateen telecom in Pakistan. Although up to some extent they remain successful is gaining customers but I believe they didn’t capture the market as they need to be. The reason is the high rates & poor quality of their service. Recently Wi-tribe a Qatar Telecom Company aimed to provide Wimax based internet services in Pakistan. They started their servies from Islamabad & other major cities in first phase. Now when there will be a great scenario of competition among Wi-tribe & wateen. it is expected that in future their tariffs will be very reasonable. At wimax you will be able to connect to internet at the speed up to 3 Mbit/s without the need for cables, so it can be saif that this technology is an alternative of cabel & DSL internet. Yes!! it will be Wimax that capture the future regarding the internet services in Pakistan.
