Telecommunications and development (English)

Today, I talk to Mr. Parvez Iftikhar an extremely able telecom professional who has served in many capacities to make the extremely efficient telecom that we are all very proud of.

I was very dismayed to learn that our apparent success in this area may not be sustainable because of several conceptual flaws.

This is an extremely important area which most laymen as well as development experts know little of.

I learnt a lot form Parvez. I hope you will pay attention and learn too. I also hope that some of you will also direct some research and thinking towards this sector so our policy can be more informed.
