PTCL IPTV will bring VoD and much more. One interesting feature is to control what channels you want your kids can watch by locking unwanted channels. I am the one who was among the testing phase of PTCL IPTV and i found it very reliable. As broadband DSL prices is already bring down by ptcl, the minimum DSL provide by PTCL is 512kbps will cost 1200/month, with these new prices I am sure lot of people can now afford broadband.

And I think PTCL give information about this service trough newspapers and electronics media to valuable custmers it is very good for PTCL and custmers.

Will PTCL be able to manage this project via Worst Outside Cable Plant Network. There is always noise problem on most of telephone lines. How could those Digital Services run on Twisted Copper Pairs. Or new UTP Cables be layed for each customer. This will cause excessive delay in running a service / launch of service and high costs. PTCL OSP is badly damaged due to Development works by CDGK in most of Karachi. Would these line be able to support these digital services?</p> <p>Second thing is content for IPTV , customer don't care what technology is deployed, as long as favourite channels are provided with reasonable quality of TV signal.</p> <p>I have observed some customers donot pay rent to Cable operator if their favourite channels like Star Network is not televised . Such kind of issues could jeoprodized whole project.</p> <p>Lets hope if this project goes well, and BroadBand Internet and other services are available at cheaper rates to general public and businesses.</p> Probably the biggest question still remains.

Second thing is content for IPTV , customer don’t care what technology is deployed, as long as favourite channels are provided with reasonable quality of TV signal.

I have observed some customers donot pay rent to Cable operator if their favourite channels like Star Network is not televised . Such kind of issues could jeoprodized whole project.

Lets hope if this project goes well, and BroadBand Internet and other services are available at cheaper rates to general public and businesses.

But recently a few companies have been aggressively investing in fiber and wimax deployments. The larger urban centers will benefit first (as in the US). These companies are betting that broadband rates will come down and people (esp businesses) will be willing to pay more for these services.</p> No, Pakistan still lags behind in broadband.
