Political In Past regulation of the Internet and associated businesses was low in Pakistan.

As the Pakistani government does not employ a sophisticated blocking system, a limitation which has led to collateral blocks on entire domains such as Blogspot.com and YouTube.com, it continues to block websites containing content it considers to be blasphemous, anti-Islamic, or threatening to internal security. Pakistan has blocked access to websites critical of the government or the military. In March 2012, the Pakistan government has taken the unusual step of touting for firms it thinks could help build it a nationwide content-filtering service capable of blocking up to 50 million websites. The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority published a request for proposals for the Deployment and operation of a national level URL Filtering and Blocking System which would Operate on similar lines to China's Golden Shield, or "Great Firewall" Academic and research institutions as well as private commercial entities have until 16 March to submit their proposals, according to the request's detailed 35-point system requirements list. Key among these is the following: "Each box should be able to handle a block list of up to 50 million URLs (concurrent unidirectional filtering capacity) with processing delay of not more than 1milliseconds" Economical: In any market, the GDP can be an indicator of the potential uptake of a product or service. However, a high GDP has not necessarily meant high Internet penetration. Since telecommunications liberalization (2003 in Pakistan, 1998 in most of Europe), there has been structural economic change within the sector. There are many new entrants in all involved markets, and incumbents have begun to lose out to new entrants that have been granted use of the incumbents networks. Social A language barrier may be a deterrent to many from the Internet. Although other languages are now making their place on the Internet, there is still a strong bias towards English, as the Internet has its origins in the US.As other languages become commonplace on the Internet, the ISP market will grow in more countries. The reluctance to accept new and foreign technologies has stunted Internet growth in some countries with high GDP. For example, Japan is a very wealthy country with an excellent telecommunications infrastructure, but Internet penetration there has been slow.
Technological:

Internet technologies are developing and improving at an enormous rate. In a feedback loop of sorts, new technologies are fuelling new services, which in turn are fuelling new technologies. Each part of the Internet (backbone pipes, routers, local loop) is becoming faster, temporarily satisfying customer demand. Although many new technologies have been hailed as the killer application (Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), videoconferencing, VoIP), these have not shown the uptake expected of them. The phenomenon of the Internet could not have been predicted, and so it would be folly for an ISP to assume that a new technology capable of totally restructuring the industry may not appear. Such technology would be regarded as disruptive. Disruptive technologies can be seen as those that initially present package of performance attributes that, at the outset, are not valued by existing customers. Although the product area may be established, the disruptive technologies value proposition is usually very different from

that Which was previously available. When launched, they will be targeted towards a whole new (and non-existing) customer base, one that is happy to pay a lower price and is willing to settle for lower quality.
