The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) announced on Sunday that 5G internet service will be introduced in Pakistan by April 2025. Sources from the PTA local chapter confirmed that efforts are underway to expand the telecom market and improve services for users. The restoration of the submarine cable is currently in progress and is expected to be completed by August 27, 2025. Despite the upgrade, no major service disruptions are anticipated, and customers are expected to experience enhanced services.
In related news, the PTA awarded a letter of intent to National Economic Research Associates (NERA), a US-based consultancy specializing in telecom and government sector modeling, to oversee the 5G spectrum auction.
