@aamir_ibrahim01@ZarrarKhuhro@WusatUllahKhan@Dawn_News Well said! You can’t build a digital economy on wireless alone. Every mobile tower, every AI application, every digital payment and every cloud service ultimately depends on fibre.
The debate around the Telecom Amendment Bill is welcome. However, much of the discussion has overlooked the central issue the proposed Right of Way amendments are intended to address.
Pakistan’s connectivity challenges are, at their core, infrastructure challenges. Fiber cannot be laid, towers cannot be deployed, and networks cannot be expanded without resolving the Right of Way bottlenecks that have frustrated operators and slowed digital progress for years. These are not abstract regulatory concerns - they translate directly into slower deployment, weaker coverage, and underserved communities.
The proposed amendments seek to address this long-standing challenge by creating a clearer and more predictable framework for telecom infrastructure deployment. Much of the current criticism has been driven by the perception that the reforms are aimed at individual citizens and homeowners. That is not the intent of the proposal. The objective is to address barriers that have slowed infrastructure rollout and limited connectivity expansion.
As with any legislation, the language can and should be refined through the parliamentary process. Legitimate concerns should be debated, improvements should be considered, and the final law should be strengthened through that process.
But the broader objective should not be lost. Expanding connectivity requires investment, infrastructure deployment, and regulatory frameworks that support both. In that regard, the effort to address long-standing Right of Way challenges is both necessary and overdue.
The @MoitOfficial deserves credit for bringing this issue forward and initiating an important conversation on one of the most persistent barriers to Pakistan’s digital progress. The focus now should be on improving the bill where needed while keeping sight of the broader goal: better connectivity for all Pakistanis.
