Islamabad: Facebook has partnered with Pakistan’s telecom company Nayatel to expand Internet connectivity and pave the way for digital transformation.
The collaboration would provide affordable, high-speed and reliable Internet access to an estimated 10 to 15 million Pakistanis in eight major cities.
Under this partnership, Nayatel “will own, build, maintain, and operate a new fibre network and provide wholesale capacity to mobile operators and ISPs,” and Facebook will invest in the 1650 km-long fibre network. “This high-speed fibre will connect thousands of sites by 2022, and improve capacity and the geographical reach of internet access” for millions, Nayatel said.

Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson has warned it might lose business in China because of Sweden’s decision to ban 5G equipment made by Chinese vendors Huawei and ZTE.
Stockholm-headquartered Ericsson said it “risks collateral damages from a weakened Swedish-Chinese relationship” because of the Swedish government’s decision to exclude Chinese vendors from the country’s 5G network last October.
Sweden’s Post and Telecommunication Authority said Chinese telecommunication vendors pose a national security threat, echoing decisions in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and other European countries. Huawei and ZTE have repeatedly denied allegations of spying or that they are a security threat.
