The news headline also links to the relevant page where you will find the IT and Telecom Division [which comes under MoITT].

Before jumping the gun gentlemen, I'd suggest you download the PDF on your own terminals. I've downloaded it twice at work in the morning and the 42 page file opened nicely. I downloaded it again some hours back at home and am halfway reading through the 42-pager. Goodluck.

There is considerable emphasis on developing local content and hosting services to fully appreciate the broadband revolution in the policy. From where we are standing in terms of skill set and infrastructure, is there sufficient grounds for such a proposition? Also, the policy considers offering 100MB mailboxes by ISPs to draw people to local POPs. It can supplement Gmail surely but rather antiquated notion this one. What do you all think?

It is almost 11 pm on Nov 07 and I can't resolve pakistan.gov.pk while connected to internet with 100K WorldCall cable in Lahore!

Trace route from centralops.net to pakistan.gov.pk [216.15.151.20] completed in 12 hops.

Any alternate sites with the PK Broadband Policy? Or can anyone email a PDF copy!
