		<description>Hi Ajit &#38; Babar,

The picture of mobile web users in Pakistan is not too good. VAS is getting the pace but active log of web users in every network providers bracket is less than 0.5% of total subscriber base. This is the result of both lack of awareness and non technology friendly attitude. That is why VAS providers in Pakistan and network operators are capitalizing on other areas like IVR and SMS connectivities.

Since Pakistani network operators are still in the phase of penetration, they are focusing more on voice services and coming up with new packages and offers to get a bigger chunk from market. Provision of MNP (Mobile number portability) in Q2 of 2007 has made it easy for users to switch networks.

Please share, what are the happening in India?

Regards-Junaid</description>

		<description>Ajit, thanks for the visit and comments. According to my research the number of mobile web users in Pakistan is very small. SMS and other value-added services are popular though so if one could introduce useful services which could link sms or other vas to mobile web then we might see some change.</description>
