3G or 4G – Dr. Yaseen Seeking Expert Opinion
In an email message share by Rafaeel A Chaudhry on TGP, Dr. Mohammed Yaseen (Chairman PTA) is seeking expert opinion on which technology is better: 3G or 4G?
The exact question at Dr. Yaseen’s private blog is as follows:
No doubt, Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) will be a next BIG thing in the world and it is now not so far to expect that in every part of the world, maximum percentage of the people will be dependent to TMT. Technology is evolving day by day; From TV to IPTV, Internet TV and now 3D TV and highly innovative mobile phones like Apple IPhone and Google Nexus Android are the examples of technology evolvement in last 2 years. From Dialups to Broadband and now Fiber to the home and 4G / LTE mobile networks, People are getting used to high Data speeds and usage of DATA and information Accessibility is much in trend these days. I would like to start a discussion on an important question that should Pakistan go for 3G networks or beyond it, by beyond I mean 4G, E-Edge?
You can jump to discussion following this link: http://www.dryaseen.pk/technology.asp
Other things covered on Dr. Yaseen’s private blog include topics on Regulations, Strategy and ICT initiatives.
Dr. Yaseen’s step to engage with segments of the industry on the upgrade to communication technology is highly appreciated.

Ali, Aziz and Hamza thanks for dropping in your opinions.
3G/4G, whichever course is taken, it must be after considering all factors…
4g is also better option as it will faster transmission of data than 3g and provide better results.

3G would be way better of course.. considering the history of 4G Networks. Sooner it rolls out, the better it would be for everyone, because if you really want to excel in your telecommunication sector, you need to do a lot more than just offering night packages!
Technically we must go for 3G , as in Pak mostly we have voice centric users and in 4G (LTE) there is not much stronger voice support as it is VOIP.
In Pakistan awam will prefer voice and not data that much. 3G is enuf in terms of speed if operators are keen to deploy HSPA & HSPA+.
but voice support matters…. :)
every technology has some good and bad points 4G (LTE) and 3G, 4G has Highest HSDPA (PS) 155 Mbps but no CS calls, you can say 4G much more advance form of WiMAX, in 3G we have Video call (CS) and HSDPA of 42 Mbps, but 3G cannot survive alone it needs 2G for Coverage. i am currently working on all three technologies in UAE
