In pursuance of prime minister’s announcement regarding the launch of 3G and 4G mobile broadband in South Waziristan, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued directives to the cellular mobile operators (CMOs) to immediately start mobile broadband services in the district. These services will be made operational from tonight and residents of the area will be able to use them for educational, health, business, and other purposes.
