Telcos Lost Rs. 600 Million Yesterday, But That’s Not the Only Thing to Worry About

Mobile cellular operators incurred an estimated loss of Rs. 600 million yesterday due to forced service suspension in 15 cities of the country on directives of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, citing security reasons on Ishq-e-Rasool day.
At least two operators, who wanted not to be named, confirmed ProPakistani that revenue loss during this 14 hour service shut down is estimated to be around Rs. 600 million.
This figure translates into Rs. 180 million (or above) loss for government under the head of taxes namely FED and WHT, for which no one in the government is going to take responsibility for. This loss is in addition to Rs. 500 million in taxes that government had to bear just a month ago for blocking mobile phone services on Eid night.
Cellular officials told ProPakistani that almost 40 to 45 percent of mobile phone subscribers remained offline during yesterday’s planned shut down, causing cellular blackout in 15 population rich cities.
This was the second time in two months that cellular operators were directed to suspend mobile phone service for security reasons. Earlier, operators were asked to shut down service in four major cities on Eid night, a time at which mobile phone usage (and revenues for operators) grows by 20 times as compared to usual days.
All mobile phone operators, as we spoke with them, seemed utterly frustrated and were more worried about government’s fast becoming habit of blocking cellular service than the loss of Rs. 600 million. They rightly feared that government is overlooking industry’s concerns and interests to cover its inability of providing security on critical occasions.
We have more coverage planned on the topic, in which we will discuss the long term impacts of this cellular suspension, ins and outs of government’s decisions, damage caused during the blackout and more. We will also try to dig out any hidden agenda or secret aims, if any, associated with these service suspensions. Just after the break (on Monday inshAllah).

Kot Diji Fort

The Kot Diji Fort, officially acknowledged as Fort Ahmadabad, governs the town of Kot Diji in Khairpur District, Sindh Province, Pakistan, about 40 kilometers east of the Indus River at the border of the Nara-Rajisthan Desert. The fortress was built between 1785 to 1795 by Mir Sohrab Khan Talpur, creator of the Empire of Upper Sindh in 1783. In addition to the fortress, a 5km, 12 feet broad mud wall was constructed around the city. This defensive wall had bastions all through its span and an enormous iron door served as the city’s only entry.
The fortress was considered unshakable and served as the home of the Emirs of Khairpur in times of peace. It is, hence, the inherited home of royal house. In war time the Zanana (female member of the royal family), would be moved to Shahgarh Fort, formerly inside the area but since 1843, after the take-over of the rest of Sindh, it is in the Thar and Jaisalmer desert, now in India. When the Zanana shifted into the calm of palaces, it stood mostly as a bejeweled souvenir of more brutal times. All through its entire history, however, Fort Kot Diji was never attacked.
