Shahbaz Sharif Debuts Social Media Career

Posted: 03 Nov 2011 11:57 PM PDT

Didn't we tell you that political parties will start taking the social media seriously, one might argue that they were already into it but the importance and weight for social media after PTI’s Jalsa in Lahore has been like never before.

Keeping in line with the need of the time, Shahbaz Sharif, Chief Minister of Punjab and top leader of PML(N), has launched his official Facebook page himself in an event that was pictured and uploaded on the same page.

Along with Facebook, CM Punjab revisited his strategy for Twitter and Pring, a mobile social network. Fresh accounts, with newly established policy, were created to reach the audience on both the networks with maximum influence.

Update: As known to many Mr. Shahbaz was already using twitter, with plenty of following, hence he decided to go with old twitter account instead of using new ID with fresh start.

Clearly, the leadership is planning from the core to get the internet crowd moving with their political motives in coming months. They are hiring specialized individuals for the purpose who will manage their online identity with a positive approach.

Here are Mr. Sharif's official pages:

Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Sharif.Shehbaz
Twitter: https://twitter.com/CMShehbaz
Pring: http://www.pringit.com/ShehbazSharif/

Having said all this, political leaders should keep this in mind that online presence can fire back if you don't meet the expectations. If not handled, or say tackled well then negative feedback can result into a disaster for the celebrities.

So be sure that you also perform on the ground to get the real buzz from social media.

PTCL Challenges PTA’s Fine Over Extra Usage of Spectrum [Updated]

Posted: 03 Nov 2011 11:16 PM PDT

Pakistan Telecommunication Limited has challenged a determination issued by PTA that imposed a fine of Rs. 82.496 million on company for alleged use of extra radio frequency spectrum for it's EVO service than it was originally allocated.

A statement sent to us by PTCL said:

“The impugned order passed by PTA has been challenged in the court of law by PTCL and the same has been suspended by the Honourable High Court. Therefore, the matter is now sub judice.”

PTA in it’s determination said that PTCL was allocated frequency band of 1975-1980 MHz and 1895-1900 MHz for use of its CDMA/WLL services. However, PTCL was using 1975-1981.875 and 1895-1901.875 MHz thus occupying extra 3.75 MHz of band not originally allocated to them.

PTCL was reportedly using this extra band in Islamabad/Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi.

Authority had asked the company to pay the fine in 30 days in addition to sparing the spectrum during the same period.

Here's the copy of PTA's determination for the PTCL (PDF File – 123 KB)
