EcoStar has recently launched its latest 55 inch TV – ‘VERO’ featuring 4K UHD. This new TV model CX 55UD925, presents the most powerful features at an affordable price of Rs. Rs.109,000/-only. In Pakistan, DWP Group is the official distributor of Ecostar, that ensures nationwide availability of its products, along with prompt after-sales support, through an extensive network of outlets in all major cities.

The EcoStar VERO 4K UHD resolution gives a picture with 4 times more detail than Full HD. With a large 55 inch screen size, this Smart TV gives sharper images with precise color and contrast. It is also enriched with many android features like; Facebook, You Tube & Netflix videos, call skype and many more. The customers can now enjoy the ultimate 4K experience with deep black richness and amazing clarity. The slim & thin panel of this energy-conserving TV, along with its sleek new base-stand makes it a beautiful addition to your home interior.

The several other feature-rich LED TV models produced by EcoStar include; the 65 inch LED TV, the ‘3D Smart LED TV’, the ‘Smart LED TV’ and the standard ‘LED TV’. EcoStar products have won several international awards, as many consumer surveys prove that each of these products is the best in its own category, offering a wide range of exciting features and spectacular picture quality. The prices of EcoStar LED Televisions are also very competitive, so the consumers get the greatest ‘Value-for-Money’ whenever they purchase these durable televisions.

EcoStar advises the buyers to actually measure the LED screen before purchasing any Television, whereby the consumers are assured that EcoStar never compromises on the screen-size or display-quality. EcoStar’s recent campaign highlighted the deceptive screen-sizes being sold by several generic brands of LED Televisions, as many generic brands of LED TVs do not measure up to the claimed screen-sizes. The campaign shows that many generic TVs claiming to be 40 inches in size, are actually 1 to 2 inches smaller.

4G/3G/2G Auto Network Switching Problem in Zong

By

It’s not only with me, but verified from many friends those are Zong customer and using their data services. And it is tested on many places of Islamabad and Rawalpindi and verified from other cities as well. From mid range smartphones to high end smartphones problem exists on all devices and on many locations.  Tested on “zonginternet” APN as well as on other “cmpaktapn”.

The auto switch between LTE or 4G/3G/2G is not working properly on Zong network. If the customer are in 4G or 3G coverage and their network mode in smartphones are set to auto than they are still on 2G network or they set to only 3G/2G mode than they still facing problem in auto switching.

When the signals of 4G/3G are good and customer’s are getting full coverage of those , there should be auto switch, in low signal area there is obvious the phone use prioritize high signal strength first and use 2G if 3G/4G signals are low. But when there are complete coverage of LTE/3G than it should switch.

When Zong launched 4G/3G , they sold wrong SIM’s to hindered of customers with “CMPAK” cell info logo with not SIM Menu in it. That SIM’s doesn’t worked on 4G network and customer’s replaced it with new one. Recently PTA ranked Zong number 1 operator for 3G/4G network but to maintain that position they must focus on quality of their network. Otherwise when after few months Mobilink will launched their LTE services after merge with Warid that will create problems for them to retain their market share.

Below are the attached screenshot’s when the 3G signals are almost full but phone still using 2G on Zong network and we took screen shot by selecting only 3G mode to check the signal strength but when we switch back to auto mode, it moved back to 2G and customers need to switch their smartphones mode to “only 3G” for using better data services.zong auto switch 2g,3g,4g zong 2g/3g/4g auto switch

Mobilink & Warid are now “Jazz”?

Every time when one company merges with other and announces merger agreement can create huge impact on industry. Same happened in Mobilink and Warid merger agreement. The agreement was not less than a shock to the whole industry as well competitors. After merger, Mobilink customers can use LTE of Warid and Warid customers can use 3G services offered by Mobilink. And they will be operateing under one management.jazz

When one company merges with other means they become a part of other company and both operate under one umbrella. And before both companies start joint operations, Mobilink relaunched their most famous brand Jazz. After merger the strongest brand becomes identity and the weak one is taken down or both operate separately. And in some cases the new brand name is used which replaces all previously used brand names. Relaunching of Jazz means Mobilink and Warid both use Same brand name and operate under one roof. It’s worth mentioning here, competition commission of Pakistan has approved the application of merger of both companies And now the approval is pending with other authorities.

There are no confirmed news about how both companies will operate but as per my speculation, both the companies will use Jazz as their brand name and Mobilink will take care of the management.

Another assumption can be,  that mobilink will serve its existing customers under Jazz brand and warid will keep on using the old name with an additional benefit to both brands. Jazz users can use 4G and Warid customers can avail 3G facility after the merger completes.

Another scenario could be that warid may launch another brand or promote its existing brand “Glow”.

What do you think it will be?

APBF Concerned Over $2b Loss in Declining Export

By

As the country’s exports are constantly on declining trend, All Pakistan Business Forum has asked the government to take business community on board in preparing policies to enhance exports so that fast widening trade deficit could be controlled.

APBF President Mr. Ibrahim Qureshi said the country’s exports declined by 13.26% during the first eight months of the current fiscal year, losing around $2 billion. The exports declined by 4.73 % in February 2016 to $1.791 billion.

He said that trade deficit was surged by 10.68% to 22.09 billion dollar in 2014-15 from 19.963 billion dollar in the preceding fiscal year- the record highest trade imbalance in last over 35 years.

APBF president said the delay in trade is also causing heavy losses to the business community amid acceleration in economic activities. Announcement of policy was due in July 2015, but later got postponed for some unknown reasons. The business community is still waiting for announcement. The expected policies could revive both domestic and foreign trade and may boost exports.

“The trade imbalance in favour of China is highly alarming. Free Trade Agreements signed with some of the countries appear to have been playing a major role for this imbalance…”

He stated that Pakistan’s exports have been stagnant at $24 billion for the last many years. Quoting the figures, he said that during last 30-year period (1980-2011), India’s share of world exports improved from 0.43% to 1.7%; Bangladesh’s from 0.04% to 0.14%; Malaysia’s from 0.74% to 1.34% and Thailand’s from 0.37% to 1.35%. But it is unfortunate that Pakistan’s share remains stagnant at 0.15%.

Mr. Ibrahim Qureshi said that during the fiscal year, imports from China increased sharply to 23% from 17% a year ago.

The record 22 billion US dollar trade gap is happening despite the fact that Pakistan is enjoying preferential access to the EU market under GSP Plus and interest rate is also lower at home while oil prices are constantly declining.

Mr. Ibrahim Qureshi said that Pakistan’s exports base and markets are extremely narrow. More than 55% of its exports earnings are contributed by the cotton group while leather, synthetic made-ups and rice contribute around 14% of total exports. Unfortunately, these items are relatively low value-added products.

Mr. Ibrahim Qureshi said that international image building is the need of the hour, besides formation of new trade specific export promotion agencies having independent budgets and policies, he said. He added that though energy shortage and law and order kept the economy hostage during the last many years, yet the government should have a clear vision on the economic issues, to help resolve the problems of export oriented industry at the earliest.

APBF President urged the government that all stakeholders be taken on board while preparing industry related policies, and asserted that industrial estates be exempted from load shedding of gas and electricity to meet the local market and export targets.

Ibrahim Qureshi said the government should also facilitate the exporters and implement all trade facilitation in letter and spirit enshrined in trade policies.
