Mobile banking has become a
key electronic channel for the
global banking and financial
services industry due to its
aptitude to reduce overall
operational costs, streamlining
the operations and the
potential to boost up the
customer base. Every bank in
the world is considering this
option in order to reach the
unbanked
Mobile commerce is considered to be another new addition to existing
web-based e-commerce. Mobile commerce in Pakistan has been witnessed
growth; the transactions will cross the mark of $200 billion in 2012 under the
umbrella of m-commerce; 100 percent growth to compare to current year

Event Flare Report
Wateen Telecom strongly believes in the internet's power to enable and transform
lifestyles in Pakistan. The broadband giant's stall at the event reflected Wateen's
perspective, offering visitors a range of enabling technologies
Wateen has always been a
proud participant; this year,
we were really pleased with
the turnout at our pavilion
and the success of the event
itself. Wateen was able to
communicate its message
that the internet has the

A great festival (Urs) of Syed
Baba Bulleh Shah, was held
recently in Kasur, among the
organizers FLARE was ahead
of all. Every year devotees
assemble in large numbers and
pay homage to the memory of a
saint. Leader in cellular
services provider Mobilink also
welcomes all the devotees and
lovers of the Sufi Saint
Sufism negates rigidity and promotes free religious thought that emphasizes God's love and mercy
that sustains the whole universe; it stresses the essence of faith rather than mere observance of
rituals; Bulleh Shah purified his heart with the fountain of truth gushing deep inside his soul

of SMS
Education is important and
parents would in no doubt do
everything to give the best to
their children; they exert so
much effort and work hard to
make sure that their children
will be able to gain the finest
in everything
SMSs are today the most widely used service across
the world. The academies, schools, colleges and
universities are taking benefits of advance technology
and send SMS to the students about any activities
