RECOMMENDATIONS:
Mobilink follows a differentiation strategy. If it wants to grow in this market and rise above its competitors, it should also follow low cost strategy through it can reach to more people and comfortably increase its market share. Mobilink has been fined twice by Pakistan telecommunication Authority over its bad service. It must try and emphasize on providing better services to its customers instead on concentrating only on expansion.

Mobilink should revise its distribution channel in Pakistan. Different package cards are available at variable prices across the country. There is no consistency in process across the country. It should devise some strategy to deal with this trouble. Further it does not have any promotional offerings that would attract customers. For example, in the previous year, Ufone offered free connections to the masses and Telenor had offered SMS service within its Network in summer 2005. If such measures were implemented, they would increase its brand name and add value to the organization.
