That refers to urban teledensity, not overall teledensity.

The article had one line for comparing the teledensity of India and Pakistan, it was an Indian member that made a false allegation of 'exaggerated figures' and really dragged Indian into the discussion.
Back to topic please.

Well u conveniently cover up the mistake of the article by saying my comment was inaccurate !!
An absolute 13% difference isn't called exaggeration ? well may be for some it mayn't be
not for me....
Now if ur argument that march 2009 wasn't that old holds then, sbdy can also say Nov 2008 wasn't that old when teledensity was only 32%.
Point being u compare data at least from same period forget abt applicability or the least mention some rough periods. Why dont u accept that ? as I said even 50% is still less than 63% obviously. As simple as that.
And 2nd reason to my defence, The comparison with India was made Bold, so I felt it was a point meant to be noticed
I rest the argument here.

The basis of comparison itself is wrong, you take data of pakisatan in march 2010 and comparing it with India's data of march 2009....one dont need rocket science to prove this wrong..
you must agree with me that, the data was right but the comparison is wrong and please dont try to justify this kind of stuff.
will you agree with me if i compare IAF of 2010 with PAF of 1970? still i can argue that it is not an exaggeration , but a valid one as of 1970.

All the companies in bold are not Pakistani's companies. They are only branches of multinational companies in Pakistan. Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Bharti, Airtel, etc etc are totally Indian owned companies. You cannot quote them to be part of Pakistan's IT or telecom services. Just like how we cannot quote Virgin Cellular as an Indian company, Please check before you post.
Telecom subscribers down by 2.4 million
Saturday, March 13, 2010
KARACHI: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has released telecom subscriber numbers for the month of January 2010. As per the released data, overall subscriber base witnessed a huge net decline of 2.4 million.
Cellular segment witnessed the highest monthly decline in the post-deregulation era with draining of 2.2 million subscribers.
In addition to this, WLL segment also continued to depict a declining trend in its subscriber base for the second consecutive month. Consequently, overall teledensity level of the country squeezed-out by almost 1.6 pps to 61.9 percent from its Dec 2009 level.

I am not covering up anything - the mistake wasn't as great as you were making it out to be. Had you merely stuck to correcting the error there would have been little issue with your comments.
Instead you went on a rant against the Pakistani media and implied that the media deliberately reported incorrect stats to 'show India in a poor light'. The media was merely quoting an individual from the industry, the author did not make the comparison of his own accord.
Now back to the comparison, by the end of the third quarter (March 2009) Pakistan's teledensity was 60.6, compared to India's teledensity of 36.98.
Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan
Indias tele-density grows ARPU declines: TRAI - CIOL News Reports
So even with a comparison of the numbers from March the error was not that significant, and your diatribe unnecessary.

There is nothing wrong with the information that was posted - all those companies are operating, investing and employing in Pakistan.
While the question posed may have meant to ask for 100% Pakistan owned companies, that was not automatically clear from the question itself, and so there is no need to get after the poster who provided the information.
Some of you Indians need to be less touchy about things.
This is indeed GOOD NEWS for the Customers / User as this decline is due to the "REDUCTION" in Call Charges.
Thus it is a plus point and India-Indians should be proud as well as thankful for it!
