1. PTCL Landline
Since the deregulation of the telecom sector, a large number of foreign investors opted for licenses in LL, LDI and cellular operations, identifying Pakistan as an emerging market.
Investors entered the market forcefully in the cellular segment, introducing heated competition for PTCL. In this situation PTCL's counter strategy for landline service, during the year 2007-08 was aimed to increase ARPU, acquire new subscribers and contain churn.
To increase operations, PTCL shifted from its conventional duration based charging system to value based options, like 'Pakistan Package' that offered 5,000 minutes for on-net nationwide calls at Rs. 199/month. PTCL also launched 'International Plus' package to facilitate cost effective international calls at unmatchable rates alongside offering Voice messaging and Phone n Net services, adding more value to the landline service.
To increase customers' base, 'order on phone' was introduced, allowing customer to apply for a new connection by simply calling 0800-80800.
To tackle the churn PTCL established an outbound call center to reach out to potential customers with an objective to attain higher level of brand loyalty.

2. PTCL V-Fone
PTCL V-Fone (WLL Service) was another major area of focus for PTCL during the year. A few prominent measures taken in this area during the year were launching of free home delivery service. No line rent package was launched in September 2007. In June 2008, 30 seconds billing was introduced contributing as an effective customer retention tool. PTCL has expanded the network to provide coverage in all large and small cities including over 10,000 villages in rural areas of Pakistan.
As Vfone becomes the Wireless substitute to landline in un-served areas, it will be a robust line for voice, data and fax services for use at home and in the office. In business markets it will be positioned as the CDMA tellular extension to add trunk lines to the ever expanding business PABXs. Vfone will be spearheading the launch of the new postpay and pre-pay tariffs with no line-rent to meet the market demand. The tariff will include new post-pay unlimited local and nationwide calling packages to bring traffic back to PTCL’s networks to stabilize the revenues.
After the initial launch, the Company aims to retain the momentum by offering different bundled packages for voice to increase the subscriber base, including specifically targeting the rural areas where copper infrastructure does not exist. On Wireless broadband front, a major upgrade of PTCL WLL CDMA network is underway to provide Wireless broadband services in 17 major cities by end 2007. Currently technical trial is in progress which will be followed by a pilot project on WiMax technology. This will enable PTCL to maintain its competitive edge.

3. Ufone
(Pakistan Telecom Mobile Ltd) a wholly-owned subsidiary of PTCL commenced its operations on 29th January 2001 as a GSM 900 service provider. Since the outset, it has expanded its coverage and customer base at a rapid pace and established itself as one of the leading cellular service providers in Pakistan. Ufone is now considered to be one of the most active, aggressive and innovative players in the mobile sector of Pakistan.
The growth of the cellular industry is a direct result of the successful implementation of the telecom deregulation and cellular mobile policy by the Ministry of IT and Telecommunications (MOIT&T) and the support, guidance and timely enforcement of regulatory process by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
Ufone's operational performance has been very encouraging despite stiff competition in Pakistan telecom market which has led to reduction of prices to bare minimum level. Ufone managed to improve its revenue and operating profit by 35% and 47% respectively, as compared to the last year through aggressive policies and exercising strict control over expenses.
4. Paknet Limited
Paknet was incorporated in year 2000 for providing internet related services in the country is being wound up. However, PTCL has developed its own voice, data and video infrastructure and services. Paknet's operations have been closed and liquidator appointed for completing the formalities involving the company closure. All customers, assets, liabilities and capital stand transferred to PTCL in accordance with the special resolution passed in General Meetings.

5. PTCL Broadband
The first major product initiative taken towards a changing PTCL during the year 2006-07, was the launch of PTCL’s Broadband service under the theme of ‘Broadband Pakistan’ by the Prime Minister of Pakistan. The service was launched on PTCL’s new state of the art BroadbandInfrastructure that was added to our network during the last three quarters of 2007 with the initial capacity of over 100,000 subscribers.
PTCL achieved unprecedented success as it added over 10,000 customers within the first 120 days of its launch while historically it had taken four years collectively for all the other operators to achieve 30,000 customers in Pakistan! The hallmark of PTCL service was the removal of theTraditional barriers such as the upfront costs of installation and customer premises equipment and added bandwidth download.
This high customer take up also reflected on the Company’s trusted image in the eyes of the nation. The service is already available in the five largest cities of Pakistan and will be expanded into another dozen cities during the coming year.
6. Smart Services
In March 2008, PTCL introduced a trial service that put PTCL on the path of a paradigm shift. Branded under 'PTCL Smart Line', the service included Interactive Television, Broadband and voice Telephony all at the same time on PTCL's telephone line. The 'Smart TV', for the first time offered TV viewers the power to control the TV channels interactively. This included the ability to rewind and pause live TV channels, block / unblock any TV channel for parental lock and search through video on demand content.
The Commercial launch of the PTCL Smart Line services across the three largest cities in Pakistan was arranged on the 14th of August 2008 which will be expanded to the other cities during the course of the year.

ANALYSIS OF EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
Pakistan followed a gradual approach to liberalize its telecom market. During 1990s, as a first step, market was opened for value added services and competition was introduced in cellular mobile sector as four licenses were issued (Mobilink, PTML, Paktel and Instaphone). The government monopoly was retained in fixed line services, however, PTCL legal monopoly ended with effective from 31st December 2002. The government announced Telecom Deregulation Policy and Cellular Mobile Policy in 2003 and 2004 respectively.
The telecom regulatory, issued new licenses for Long distance International (LDI) and Local Loop Fixed (LLFixed), Wire Local Loop (WLL) and Cellular Mobile. With the issuance of new licenses the market is now open for full competition in all segments of the sector.
1. Industrial Structure
Pakistan’s telecom sector has finally begun moving and looked set for an era of phenomenal growth. The sector has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years with Teledensity depicting major expansion after deregulation. The primary purpose of deregulation of the sector was to encourage healthy competition while providing better quality products and services to customers on lower prices as well providing best technology available worldwide. Current Teledensity in Pakistan has expanded exponentially from 4.3 percent in 2002-03 to stand at 48.4 percent in 2006-07 with currently standing at over 52 percent, with better services and competitive rates.
Also, increasing inflow of foreign investment in the telecomm sector has resulted in the introduction of new cut throat technologies for provision of various telecom services including cellular, wireless and internet services. In recent times, the focus has increasingly shifted from Fixed Lines to Cellular and Wireless Fixed Lines (WLL), with better portability and convenience. WLL has shown an improvement from 0.7 percent to 1.1 percent in 2006- 07 from last year with subscribers of 2 mn.
Cellular segment remained the vital player with increase in total Teledensity contributing 48 percent. In the urban markets introduction of Broadband internet services by various Telecomm giants such as PTCL, WorldCall and Wateen has further benefited the consumers to access timely information over the internet with competitive rates. The broadband
MISBAH MUSHTAQ BURKI | ROLL NO 101 | B.B.A VIII SEMESTER

PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION LTD
penetration however has not depicted as much growth as expected growing with 3.5mn subscribers in 2007 against 2.4mn subscribers in 2006. PTA estimates broadband subscribers to grow to over 5mn by 2010. WorldCall has initiated cable television services with PTCL expected to follow suite by providing IPTV services through its Triple Play services, ensuring diversification of products and services.
Recent conducive environment provide by PTA has resulted in increased FDIs in the sector with investments of USD2.7 bn during the last five years making it the largest recipient of highest FDI during the past few years.
The future for telephony lies amongst unexplored rural regions of Pakistan with all major telecom operators looking forward to tap these markets with a major contribution by WLL and Cellular segments due to cheaper installation costs. With healthy competition instigating lower local and international tariffs and availability of alternative services has progressively benefited the consumers overall.
2. Market Operation
Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited, or PTCL, keeps callers connected from Karachi to Islamabad. The communications services provider offers consumers and businesses with basic landline, DSL broadband, interactive television, and IP telephony services. The company also provides wholesale services such as traffic routing and call termination to other carriers. PTCL's subsidiaries include wireless phone services provider Pakistan Telecom Mobile, which operates as Ufone. In 2006 EmiratesTelecommunications (Etisalat) acquired a 26% stake in PTCL and assumed management control of the company.
Demand is driven by technological innovation and by growth in business activity. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and good marketing. Large companies have big economies of scale in providing a highly automated service to large numbers of customers, and have the financial resources required building and maintaining a large network. Smaller companies can compete effectively only in small markets or by providing specialty services.

3.Market Structure
Wireless Local Loop (WLL) is growing at a rate of about 100 percent per annum as its teledensity has reached to 1.34 percent by end of December 2007. The quarterly addition of WLL subscriber is approximately 0.14 million on an average.
PTCL is leading in terms of traffic on WLL in Pakistan, which has about 54 percent market share of total traffic of WLL segment. Two major players,
PTCL and Telecard have lost market share in WLL traffic in quarter ending December 2007 when compared with the same quarter of the last year.
PTCL share came down to 54 percent from 57 percent while Telecard share in total traffic has come down to 22 percent from 30 percent. WorldCall has gained 100 percent and its share reached to 22 percent at the end of 2007 compared to the same quarter last year. PTCL, the incumbent operator in fixed line in Pakistan has also emerged as market leader with 57 percent market share followed by Telecard and Worldcall with 19.6 percent and 20.2 percent market share at the end of December 2007.
Great Bear International share is reported to be 3 percent, while Wateen Telecom share is 0.2 percent, which started their services during the quarter. PTCL has gained over 1 percent market share compared to the same quarter of last year while Telecard added over 5 percent market share during this period.
Great Bear International though a smaller shareholder in WLL market but its share is increasing due to its quality of service as it reached to 3 percent as compared to 2 percent in December 2006.It is believed that fixed-line tele-density will recover with WLL taking off due to its cost effectiveness and in particular this technology suits for the hilly areas and far-flung regions in the country. The estimated WLL per line cost is around US$ 100-150 in comparison to wire line cost which still remains to be more than US$ 250-350 per line.

PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION LTD
PTCL has already covered over 11,500 cities/towns/villages while other major operators like Worldcall, Telecard and Greatbear are increasing their coverage too.
WLL system is used when low to medium subscribers densities are located apart from each other and deployment of primary or secondary copper network is difficult. WLL system is best suited for rural, sub urban areas and very congested metropolitan areas.
4. Regulatory Environment
The local telecom market has altered significantly since the creation of PTA as an independent regulatory agency and had enjoyed sizeable success to open up the local market to competing operators. With the governments deregulation policies, Etisalat, the UAE based telecom player being the highest bidder emerged as the buyer of the 26 percent share in PTCL in April 2006. PTCL, despite being a giant, had to face many bottlenecks in its operations with such large network.
PTCL has recently taken an initiative to right size itself by introduction of VSS for its employees where about 28000 employees are accepted under the scheme.
Introduction of various diversified products and services to sustain its market share, Implementation of ERP solutions to provide integration of various departments through acquisition of SAP software and state of the art billing and customer service software, translates PTCL’s long term goals of operational effectiveness into practice.
The telecom giant PTCL has observed cutthroat competition from various service providers after the implementation of the deregulation policies by the PTA. However, through the vast infrastructure and being the carriers’ carrier, PTCL with diversification of its various services has enjoyed well-built position and posses immense potential for growth, while need for telecom services is on rise as economy continues to grow on the right track.
The telecom De-regulation and Cellular Mobile Policies announced by the Federal Government place certain obligations on Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) to facilitate market liberalization. PTCL is bound to comply with these obligations within a stipulated time frame. These obligations are of paramount importance for successful implementation of the policy and failure or any deviation thereof

may result in substantial damage to the deregulation process/liberalization program.
Similarly Defense, NTC and SCO also depend on PTCL for many facilities. Therefore, PTCL has important obligations towards Defense of the country and other existing operators. In addition, PTCL has been declared SMP operator. Under the status of SMP also, PTCL has certain obligations. PTA, as regulator, has to ensure that new management of PTCL fulfils all these obligations.

telecommunication services in the country on affordable prices while ensuring that the telecom services become accessible throughout the country.
Since exclusivity of PTCL has ended on 1st Jan 2003, the telecom sector of Pakistan has entered into a new era and PTCL is slowly moving towards competition in the basic telecom services. The company’s policy objectives are as follows:
Increase service choice for all consumers of telecom services at competitive and affordable prices.
Increase private investment in the telecom sector and encourage local telecom manufacturing/service industry.
Enhance long run benefits to the Government’s financial position by expanding the taxable revenue base.
Accelerate expansion of telecom infrastructure to extend telecom services to unserved and undeserved areas.
Encourage fair competition among service providers, while maintaining leadership in the telecom sector.
Maintain consistency with the Pakistan IT and internet promotion policy of low prices for Bandwidth and Internet access.

MISBAH MUSHTAQ BURKI | ROLL NO 101 | B.B.A VIII SEMESTER

PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION LTD
The first quarter of FY'08 recorded a drop in profitability of PTCL, as the company's profit after taxation declined 41.5% over the three months period to September 2007, as compared to the same period last year. Sales revenue dwindled during three months period, reaching Rs 14.4 billion, compared to Rs 16.9 billion last year, depicting a decline of 15%. A 6% rise in operating expenses as a result of high provisioning against doubtful debts and infrastructure development for high speed DSL connections, combined with a 32% increase in financial charges, provided a further blow to the bottom line.
Consequently, operating profit declined 46%. However the effect on net profit was somewhat diluted by a 14% increase in non-operating income of the company so that the company posted profit after tax of Rs 3.01billion, compared to Rs 5.15 billion in1Q'07.
At the end of first quarter, the company stock was trading at a P/E ratio of 18.20. As illustrated by the graph, the stock has performed remarkably well relative to the market. The stock has shown consistent performance over the three months, dropping only slightly as the rest of the market dipped sharply during August. As a consequence of the fading sales revenue for the period, the profit after tax of the company in FY06 declined by 21.91% over FY05. The net profit margin has also been declining since the FY'04 and the trend persisted in FY06.
The decline in profit margin may be attributed to a 5.25% increase in operating expenses for the year.

The socio cultural environment summarizes demand and tastes, which vary with fashion and disposable income, provide opportunities and threats to telecom companies.
As Pakistan is an Islamic country and people are very strict in case of Islam any thing against the philosophy of Islam on either print or electronic media are treated as against Pakistan. Most of the people dislike anything extra-ordinary or 19 something which sabotage their culture or subculture. Pakistani society is largely multilingual and multicultural.
The Pakistani people are more social and want to remain in contact with other people. They celebrate lot of festivals like Jashn-e-Baharan, Eid Celebrations and other cultural festivals. On these festivals they make calls to relative and one of the key issues is sending SMS regarding the event. This will influence the demand for the product.
Increasing globalization has amplified the influence of "Western culture" in Pakistan. The life style of Pakistani people is changing rapidly. People are more conscious about status pat most all people purchase multimedia mobile phones. And also there is trend for Black berry sets by youth which will help in enhancing their product and services.
The total population of Pakistan is approximately 169,248,500. The population is increasing rapidly which increase the number of cellular usage and help in projecting high profits.

BCG MatrixBCG Matrix

PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION LTD
THE BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP (BCG) MATRIXThe BCG Matrix method is the most well-known portfolio management
tool. It is based on product life cycle theory. It was developed in the early
70s by the Boston Consulting Group. The BCG Matrix can be used to
determine what priorities should be given in the product portfolio of a
business unit. To ensure long-term value creation, a company should have a
portfolio of products that contains both high-growth products in need of cash
MISBAH MUSHTAQ BURKI | ROLL NO 101 | B.B.A VIII SEMESTER
46
PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION LTD
inputs and low-growth products that generate a lot of cash. The Boston
Consulting Group Matrix has 2 dimensions:
Market share
Market growth
The basic
idea behind it
is: if a product
has a bigger
market
share, or
if the product's
market grows faster, it
is better for the company.
The four segments of the BCG Matrix
Placing products in the BCG matrix provides 4 categories in a portfolio
of a company:
Stars (high growth, high market share)
o Stars are using large amounts of cash. Stars are leaders in the
business. Therefore they should also generate large amounts of
cash.
o Stars are frequently roughly in balance on net cash flow.
However if needed any attempt should be made to hold your
MISBAH MUSHTAQ BURKI | ROLL NO 101 | B.B.A VIII SEMESTER
46
PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION LTD
market share in Stars, because the rewards will be Cash Cows if
market share is kept.
Cash Cows (low growth, high market share)
o Profits and cash generation should be high. Because of the low
growth, investments which are needed should be low.
o Cash Cows are often the stars of yesterday and they are the
foundation of a company.
Dogs (low growth, low market share)
o Avoid and minimize the number of Dogs in a company.
o Watch out for expensive ‘rescue plans’.
o Dogs must deliver cash, otherwise they must be liquidated.
Question Marks (high growth, low market share)
o Question Marks have the worst cash characteristics of all,
because they have high cash demands and generate low
returns, because of their low market share.
o If the market share remains unchanged, Question Marks
will simply absorb great amounts of cash.
o Either invests heavily, or sells off, or invests nothing and
generates any cash that you can. Increase market share
or deliver cas
The BCG Matrix and one size fit all strategies
The BCG Matrix method can help to understand a frequently made
strategy mistake: having a one size fits all strategy approach, such as a
generic growth target (9 percent per year) or a generic return on capital of
say 9.5% for an entire corporation.
In such a scenario:
Cash Cows Business Units will reach their profit target easily. Their
management have an easy job. The executives are often praised
MISBAH MUSHTAQ BURKI | ROLL NO 101 | B.B.A VIII SEMESTER
46
PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION LTD
anyhow. Even worse, they are often allowed to reinvest substantial
cash amounts in their mature businesses.
Dogs Business Units are fighting an impossible battle and, even worse,
now and then investments are made. These are hopeless attempts to
"turn the business around".
As a result all Question Marks and Stars receive only mediocre
investment funds. In this way they can never become Cash Cows.
These inadequate invested sums of money are a waste of money.
Either these SBUs should receive enough investment funds to enable
them to achieve a real market dominance and become Cash Cows (or
Stars), or otherwise companies are advised to disinvest. They can then
try to get any possible cash from the Question Marks that were not
selected.
Other uses and benefits of the BCG Matrix
If a company is able to use the experience curve to its advantage, it
should be able to manufacture and sell new products at a price that is
low enough to get early market share leadership. Once it becomes a
star, it is destined to be profitable.
BCG model is helpful for managers to evaluate balance in the firm’s
current portfolio of Stars, Cash Cows, Question Marks and Dogs.
BCG method is applicable to large companies that seek volume and
experience effects.
The model is simple and easy to understand.
It provides a base for management to decide and prepare for future
actions.
Limitations of the BCG Matrix
MISBAH MUSHTAQ BURKI | ROLL NO 101 | B.B.A VIII SEMESTER
46
PAKISTAN TELECOMMUNICATION LTD
Some limitations of the Boston Consulting Group Matrix include:
It neglects the effects of synergy between business units.
High market share is not the only success factor.
Market growth is not the only indicator for attractiveness of a market.
Sometimes Dogs can earn even more cash as Cash Cows.
The problems of getting data on the market share and market growth.
There is no clear definition of what constitutes a "market".
A high market share does not necessarily lead to profitability all the
time.
The model uses only two dimensions – market share and growth rate.
This may tempt management to emphasize a particular product, or to
divest prematurely.
A business with a low market share can be profitable too.
The model neglects small competitors that have fast growing market
shares
