Broadband Access Cost In Pakistan Is Among The Highest In The World
September issue of Wired magazine has an interesting and colorful illustration in which broadband access cost of various countries is expressed as a percentage of their monthly incomes. Pakistan was featured there as well, as you can see below (click to see a higher resolution image). The headline screams: Access Denied. Broadband service is available worldwide (to 3% of the population) but it’s beyond most people’s budgets, it adds.
I’d leave it to the readers to determine whether the number mentioned there for Pakistan: $106.9/100Kbps, is right or not. Oh, and don’t miss the comment about the bloggers in Pakistan.

i dont think its that expensive!
500 usd = 30,000 pkr pa = 2500 pkr pm
Worldcall costs 1100
PTCL wireless is cheap too.
Cyber DSL and Max DSL are both under 3000 pkr pm
I know its high, but not as high!
this is more like bad PR for the country!
Worlcall is not that expensive at all , infact people are using their service … and pleased with results …..
I agree that the price mentioned in this article for Pakistan is not correct. The fine print says that the source of the data is International Telecommunication Union (ITU). I’ll need to do some research before I contact the magazine and ask them to correct it. More on this soon.
