Telenor has launched 4G service in Pakistan's six major cities — Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Multan, Peshawar, and Swat — techjuice.pk reported on Monday.
The
Norwegian telecom giant's prepaid and post-paid users will initially be
able to avail the service free of cost for a limited period of time.
However, they are required to get their SIMs replaced from the service centres and have 850 MHz compatible 4G GSM.
Telenor
was awarded a $395 million 4G licence last month, as Pakistan sought to
capitalise on a booming domestic mobile market some two years since
broadband Internet arrived in the country.
In 2014,
Pakistan auctioned its first 4G broadband license to China’s Zong for
$210 million, along with 3G licenses to Zong, the UAE’s Ufone, and
domestic Mobilink. The total raised in the auction was $1.2 billion.
