| ‘Sab Keh Do Day’ Postponed in Respect for Air Crash Victims Posted: 21 Apr 2012 04:30 AM PDT
"In light of this heart-rending disaster that has shaken the whole country, we have decided to postpone the 'Sab Keh Do Day' as an expression of our solidarity with the families of those who have passed away", stated Usman Ishaq, Director Marketing, ZONG. "ZONG team members would like to extend their deepest condolences to the families of the 127 people who perished." Sab Keh Do Day is a day that celebrates the free flow of communication, thoughts, expressions and emotions. It's a day that encourages people to step back from everyday issues and leave behind all their inhibitions to truly share what's in their hearts and minds. ZONG has been celebrating Sab Keh Do Day every year since 2009 when it was first organized to mark the anniversary of the brand. It is held in April every year, the same month that the brand was first launched in. Related posts:

| CCP has Nothing to do with 3G Auction Process: CCP Posted: 20 Apr 2012 07:34 PM PDT
CCP has clarified its position on the auction issue and categorically sidelined itself with the process. It is not the mandate of Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) to certify 3G auction process, however, we can observe the concern in such matter, said CCP's spokesman on Friday. Spokesman explained that it is for this reason that CCP, based upon the review of various jurisdictions, briefed the Standing Committee on Information Technology and Telecommunications in the meeting held on Thursday regarding the key factors that have yielded new entry as well as sustained number of facilities based mobile carriers in the country. An official statement issued by commission said that CCP was not invited to the previous meeting held on 23-02-2012; it was only during the recent meeting CCP learnt that the Committee required its view relating to the issue whether the restriction in the auction on the new entrant to begin operations till March 2013 is anticompetitive? In this regard, on behalf of CCP it was stated that:
Since, the above questions are pertinent to be advised by PTA, CCP categorically stated that "unless PTA advises CCP on these facts and aspects, it is difficult to ascertain whether in effect such a provision is anti-competitive." It was also stated that: "the objective is not merely to satisfy the Committee but to assist in the light of the relevant facts in accordance with law." The Committee recognizing that PTA was the principal authority regulating the subject matter directed it to provide required document and any further information required by CCP for the purposes of providing assistance to the Committee on the above referred aspect.
