3G/ 4G Rates in Pakistan

3G and 4G technologies are not expected to be cheaper in Pakistan. According to media sources, per megabyte rates/ tariff of 3G and 4G internet will be higher than existing GPRS and EDGE internet services. Telecom companies have invested large amounts to get licences and they will recover it from customers' pockets. But it is hoped that with the passage of time, rates of this new technology will be lowered.
