Only 2.12 percent people use Internet in Pakistan

By 1 Comment

The Daily Times reports that Pakistan has only 2.12 percent of Internet users, leaving a vast majority of population without any knowledge of the web. 

According to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) Pakistan with a population of 164,741,924 have only 3.5 million Internet users. Pakistan Internet subscribers still rely on the dial-up connection.

Wahaj us Siraj, Convener of Internet Service Providers Association of Pakistan (ISPAK) said that these thwart figures are emerging as the government has never taken the IT industry seriously. The reasons of these dismal figures are heavy taxes on computers and accessories, which is creating a negative impact on the Internet subscribers’ base as the Internet users are directly related to the computer growth.
