With employee strength of 30,000 and 5.7 million customers, PTCL is the largest telecommunications provider in Pakistan. PTCL also continues to be the largest CDMA operator in the country with 0.8 million V-fone customers. The company maintains a leading position in Pakistan as an infrastructure provider to other telecom operators and corporate customers of the country. It has the potential to be an instrumental agent in Pakistans economic growth. PTCL has laid an Optical Fibre Access Network in the major metropolitan centers of Pakistan and local loop services have started to be modernized and upgraded from copper to an optical network.
INTORDUCTUION The telecommunications industry is at the forefront of the information agedelivering voice, data, graphics and video at ever increasing speeds and in an increasing number of ways. Whereas wire line telephone communication was once the primary service of the industry, wireless communication services and cable and satellite program distribution make up an increasing share of the industry. The largest sector of the telecommunications industry continues to be made up of wired telecommunications carriers. Establishments in this sector mainly provide telephone service via wires and cables that connect customers premises to central offices maintained by telecomm1urinations companies. The central offices contain switching equipment that routes content to its final destination or to another switching center that determines the most efficient route for the content to take. While voice used to be the main type of data transmitted over the wires, wired telecommunications service now includes the transmission of all types of graphic, video, and electronic data mainly over the Internet.
These new services have been made possible through the use of digital technologies that provide much more efficient use of the telecommunications networks. One major technology breaks digital signals into packets during transmission. Networks of computerized switching equipment, called packet switched networks, route the packets. Packets may take separate paths to their destination and may share the paths with packets from other users. At the destination, the packets are reassembled, and the transmission is complete. Because packet switching considers alternate routes, and allows multiple transmissions to share the same route, it results in a more efficient use of telecommunications capacity as packets are routed along less congested routes.
HISTORY OF PTCL
PAKISTAN TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE DEPARTMENT (T&T) Pakistan Telegraph and Telephone Department inherited a small telecommunication network consisting of only 12,000 lines in 1947. It was the sole Department responsible for providing telecommunication facilities to whole country. In fact postal services were also included in its responsibilities. The Pakistan Postal Department was separated from Pakistan Telegraph and Telephone Department in the year 1962. Like all other field of newly born nation, there was no established system of telecommunication, available in the country. However the present system, as well as new installations was managed by the T&T quiet efficiently. PAKISTAN POST & TELEGRAPH (P&T) The postal and telecommunication services were performed by a single department known as Pakistan Post & Telegraph (P&T). This department started its telephone service with only 12346 telephone lines and seven telegraph offices all over Pakistan. This department continued its business up to 1962 PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION CORPORATION (PTC) The erstwhile Telegraph and Telephone (T&T) Department was converted into a Statuary Corporation on 15-12-1990. It has its own legal identity totally separated from Government of Pakistan.

The P.T.C. was further segregated into four separate units in 1996. 1. P.T.C.L. 2. P.T.A. 3. N.T.C. 4. F.A.B. PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY LIMITED (PTCL) PTCL was incorporated on December 31st 1995 and commenced business on January 1st 1996.. All properties, assets, obligations and liabilities of PTC were accordingly transferred to the PTCL on the 01-01-1996. The P.T.C.L. is a prestigious organization and telecom services in the country are getting better and better, since its incorporation. PAKISTAN TELECOM AUTHORITY (PTA) Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) was established in 1996. It falls under the preview of Government of Pakistan. It issues licenses to various companies for carry out certain activities.

It is a regulatory body formed to accomplish rules and regulations relating to the telecommunication matters. NATIONAL TELECOM CORPORATION (NTC) It has been established for installation of telecommunication facilities to the Governmental organizations. A portion of working lines was initially transferred to N.T.C. from the P.T.C.L. but now they have established their network. They are totally independent in providing telephones connections, their look after and generation of revenue there from. FREQUENCY ALLOCATION BOARD (FAB) This organization has been established to allocate Radio and Wireless telecom frequencies to various organizations/companies within the country. The latest development in this regard is that F.A.B. is establishing Monitoring Stations in order to check the validity and legality of the utilization of circuits. PTCL'S SUBSIDIARIES Pak Telecom Mobile Limited (PTML) PTML is a wholly owned subsidiary of PTCL established to operate cellular Telephony under the brand name of UFONE.
The company's performance during the current year has been very encouraging despite the stiff competition in Pakistan's cellular market especially after the emergence of two new international players in the last quarter of the year.
