10. No cell phones made in Pakistan
09. Not much of Urdu services or local content (who needs it when you are having so much fun)
08. Driving + talking on mobile = Accidents …. And no one is doing anything about it
07. People using their phone as a status symbol
06. No unlimited calling plans
05. Silly advertising which is completely out of touch with ground realities

04. PTA:Â Sleepy customer service + a lousy web site where finding information is a pain
03. Too many fancy schmancy services (eg mobile TV) but 3G and data services are still a rip off
02. Prime Minister firing off a statement every few days about rising mobile subscriber numbers, implying that all our problems are now solved and demanding that all the foreign investment should flow to Pakistan.
01. Mobile phone snatching

for 9
its not only mobile industry its everywhere
they arent working to create the business they just wanted to find easy money
and this IMHO gives opportunity to someone really competent
we need some ‘google’ in pakistan
