Pakistan Mobile Sector Grows and Gets More International with the Launch of

MobileMonday Chapter in Karachi

Helsinki, Finland, September 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- MobileMonday celebrates 10 years of collaboration,
community, and innovation with the new chapter launch in Karachi, Pakistan. With Karachi becoming its
106th chapter, MobileMonday is now active in all continents. Karachi mobile community will join the
worldwide group of mobile movers and shakers under the direction of Rehan Allahwala, CEO of Super
Technologies and inventor of DIDX as well as other telecom, mobile, social media and social networking
innovations.

The Pakistan telecom sector is opening up with new possibilities and opportunities. After the
de-regulation of its telecom and mobile sectors in 2003 - 2004, 14 long distance and international licenses
were awarded with another 38 fixed local loop licenses and 17 wireless local loop licenses. In 2005, the
Pakistan Telecom Sector was the first country in South Asia to successfully implement Mobile Number
Portability (MNP). As of late 2008, there were 90.5 million mobile phone subscribers in Pakistan
according to the annual Pakistan Telecom Authority report. In 2007/08 the Pakistan telecom sector
totalled $1,438 million USD Foreign Direct investment, which counts 27 percent of total FDI (foreign
direct investment) for Pakistan.

"Pakistan is a huge mobile market with plenty of innovation and potential that rest of the world should be
aware of. We hope that with the MobileMonday partnership, Pakistani businesses can benefit from our
global network as well create a vibrant ecosystem locally,” said Jari Tammisto, CEO of MobileMonday
Global.

"The positive changes after de-regulation, have made Pakistan a hotbed for the next generation of
empowering mobile applications and services. Our goal for MobileMonday Karachi is to educate the
global mobile community about the opportunities available in Pakistan as well as enable local business to
continue their innovative work by creating an interactive network for finding partners, investors and
clients. We want to see MobileMonday Karachi as a key influencer for the mobile industry in Pakistan,"
commented Rehan Allahwala, founder of Karachi, Pakistan Mobile Monday chapter.

MobileMonday will hold a live signing session for the MobileMonday Karachi chapter with Rehan
Allahwala in Helsinki during the MobileMonday's 10th Anniversary Summit on Monday 27th September.
Rehan will also be presenting in the Peer Awards for the base of pyramid category during the Summit.
The MobileMonday 10th Anniversary Summit takes place in Helsinki and Tallinn from 27th-29th
September 2010.

Other MobileMonday launches before the end of 2010 will include Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Cairo,
Egypt, and Ahmedabad, India.
