The Wireless & Internet Service Providers Association of Pakistan (WISPAP) raises concerns over the monopoly in Pakistan's international gateway market.
The Africa-1 submarine cable, backed by a global consortium, will enhance connectivity across various regions including Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kenya.
WISPAP believes breaking the monopoly is necessary to fully benefit consumers and lower internet costs.
The cable is expected to be operational by early 2026, promising improved internet speeds and network reliability for various industries.
