Pakistan has four major mobile operators that provide 3G and 4G services: Telenor, Zong, Ufone and Jazz Mobile. These operators have acquired different frequency bands for their services, such as UMTS 850, UMTS 900, UMTS 2100 for 3G LTE 850, and LTE 1800 for 4G. The operators offer various packages and bundles for their customers, such as daily, weekly and monthly plans with different data volumes and prices.

The PTA expects that the number of 3G and 4G service users will continue to rise in the future, as more people adopt digital lifestyles and access online services such as e-commerce, e-education, e-health and e-government. The PTA also aims to enhance the digital infrastructure and connectivity in Pakistan, especially in rural and remote areas².
