With China Mobile Communication Corporation’s CMPak (Zong) as one of the major broadband players, broadband subscriptions in Pakistan have reached a historic 100 million mark, Gwadar Pro reported on Monday.
According to Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the historic 100 million mark has been achieved owing to supportive government policies, effective competition among telecom operators and PTA’s commitment to introduce and utilize innovative technologies.
“All four national Cellular Mobile Operators (CMOs), SCO and fixed line broadband operators including PTCL collectively have broadband subscriptions of over 100 million now,” according to PTA.

According to the PTA official website, CMPak (Zong) enjoys 22.6% cellular market share in Pakistan.
