Wateen is energetically contributing toward Government of Pakistan’s (Information Technology Ministry) USF projects working for the development of telecom infrastructure in underserved areas of the country. Hitherto, very effectively Wateen has been obtained subsidies of nearly PKR 1.8 billion for OFC projects and PKR 1.0 billion for Broadband projects through participation in competitive biddings.
Over 10,000 kilometers long robust Optical Fiber Cable network is deployed and has the largest nationwide 3.5 GHz WiMAX network even out in the world. The fact makes Wateen a natural partner with unique distinction to hold up such programs.
The CEO of Wateen Telecom Mr. Tariq Malik contentedly explained the struggles of Wateen for the encouragement of internet literacy in the regions and said
“Wateen is strongly committed in alleviating the digital gap and division between the urban and rural population and is always once step advance of its achievements to meet such challenges. We have set sights on the promotion computer and internet literacy in underserved regions of Pakistan by making these services ‘available’ and ‘affordable’ for the people of Pakistan. While talking about corporate social responsibility he said that owing to these projects Wateen is not only making services available in educational centers by building computer laboratories that shall be fully equipped with broadband internet but is also generating employment opportunities by generating joint venture with the local community to build internet cafes in the area. It is Wateen’s vision to contribute towards the development of our great country and hence, participation in USF regions aligns with Wateen’s vision of taking Pakistan into the digital broadband revolution of the 21st century while promoting education and literacy through these means.”
