			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Telenor Pakistan has always supported bloggers and considers them to be online journalists. We believe they have a very important role to play in the evolution of media in Pakistan.</p>
<p>Having an opinion and expressing it is the right of every citizen however, a line must be drawn when that opinion distorts and misrepresents facts and damages reputation.</p>
<p>Telenor Pakistan is dismayed by the sensationalistic reporting of a blogger on one of the leading telecom blogs, Propakistani.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a recent story on Propakistani, <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong>http://propakistani.pk/2011/06/07/secret-british-aid-used-to-setup-easypaisa-gets-unveiled</strong></span>/ , the blogger alleges:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>“It was recently unveiled that Telenor has secretly used British funds to establish its financial services solution called easypaisa</em></p>
<p><em>However, none of the involving parties, including Telenor, Tameer Bank or the British government ever announced the existence or the utilization of this fund.”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The fund is NOT a secret:</strong></p>
<p>-          The funding was received by Tameer Microfinance Bank NOT Telenor Pakistan through the State Bank of Pakistan and not directly from UKAid (DFID) or the British government.</p>
<p>-          Tameer Microfinance Bank received it from the State Bank of Pakistan’s financial inclusion program under its technology related technical assistance grant for capacity building</p>
<p>-          Further details of the grant and its disbursal process are (and have been) on the State Bank’s website so were never a secret</p>
<p>-         <span style="color: #99cc00;"><strong> http://www.sbp.org.pk/MFD/FIP/about.htm</strong></span></p>
<p>-          Tameer Microfinance Bank in its annual report published and available on its website, again in the public domain has declared all grants received</p>
<p>-         <span style="color: #99cc00;"> <strong>http://www.tameerbank.com/pdf/tmfb_financial_statements_2010.pdf</strong> </span>Point #20,  Pg 17 &amp; Para 1, Pg 18</p>
<p>-          An article was published on this grant in 2009</p>
<p>-      <span style="color: #99cc00;"> <strong>http://www.microfinancefocus.com/content/sbp-provides-rs-215-million-boost-pakistan-microfinance-sector?page=5&amp;quicktabs_4=0</strong></span></p>
<p><em>“Telenor on other hands, neither disclosed this information nor provided any subsidy/discount to end users for service usage against the funds it took from the British government”</em></p>
<p>-          Again, the funding was given by the State Bank to Tameer Micorfinance Bank and NOT to Telenor Pakistan</p>
<p><em>“It merits mentioning here that Telenor is making significant amount of revenues from it’s easypaisa services, while on other hands, despite of foreign aid, Easypaisa’s transactional charges are amongst the highest in all kind of money processing charges, locally and globally”</em><strong> </strong></p>
<p>-          Under its mandate, the grant cannot not be used to “subsidize” the cost of services offered. Since it was meant for “technology related technical assistance” it was used by Tameer Microfinance Bank to strengthen agent review and risk management systems and to enhance treasury and payment gateways for home remittances.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.purepakistani.com/wp-content/uploads//2010/02/telenor.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2147" title="telenor" src="http://www.purepakistani.com/wp-content/uploads//2010/02/telenor.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="149" /></a>According to a recent study conducted by Telenor Group and Boston Consulting Group, wider access to mobile financial services in Pakistan could lead to the creation of 1 million new jobs by 2020. An estimated US$2 billion could be added annually to government revenues, helping raise Pakistan’s GDP growth by 3%.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To discuss these prospects, a seminar titled ‘Shaping our financial future &#8211; Socio-Economic Impact of Mobile Financial Services’ was arranged under the aegis of easypaisa. Participants included representatives from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, State Bank of Pakistan, Telenor Pakistan, Tameer Microfinance Bank, senior government officials, development specialists and the media.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Christian Albech, CEO, Telenor Pakistan, spoke about the benefits of mobile financial services on individuals and society in Pakistan. “The study shows that mobile financial services can help families and businesses to respond in a better way to expense shocks, and can have positive effects on entrepreneurship. They can help improve children&#8217;s chances of completing primary school. Women&#8217;s access to funds can be bettered, with positive effects on child education and health. Mobile financial services can prove invaluable in supporting Pakistan&#8217;s social development goals.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nadeem Hussain, President &amp; CEO Tameer Microfinance Bank, in his comments spoke about the positive impact of mobile financial services on the economy. He said: “The study shows that mobile financial services can help create new jobs and boost government revenues. GDP growth can be stimulated by increased access to credit, which prompts new business creation, and by formal remittances and increased savings. Mobile financial services can facilitate public services by providing e-government options and help reduce costs of financial transactions such as the disbursement of aid.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the study, given a supportive environment, the percentage of Pakistan’s adult population using mobile financial services could go up from the current 2% to 35% by 2020 resulting in higher savings, creation of formal credit channels, and improved insurance usage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>About the study, Socio-Economic Impact of Mobile Financial Services</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>The Telenor Group, in a bid to explore the impact of mobile-based financial services in emerging economies, looked at how having bank accounts and access to credit can change the way people live, work and develop over the next decade. To conduct the study, Telenor commissioned the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to look at financial services’ overall impact as well as the specific effects in Telenor’s Asian markets (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, India) and Serbia &#8212; all markets in which Telenor Group has mobile operations.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>About Telenor Pakistan </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Telenor Pakistan is a provider of high quality telecommunication services in Pakistan since 2005. It has 25.75 million subscribers, 2,500 employees and a nationwide network covering over 8,000 cities. It holds a majority share in Tameer Microfinance Bank Limited. Telenor Pakistan is 100% owned by Telenor ASA and adds on to its operations in Asia.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>About Tameer Microfinance Bank</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Tameer Bank is a fast-growing microfinance bank, licensed by State Bank of Pakistan in August 2005. It is the first bank to have approval to conduct branchless banking business in Pakistan. In December 2008 Tameer entered into an agreement with Telenor Pakistan, which acquired 51 per cent of the shares in Tameer Microfinance Bank. The move is part of the bank’s strategy to offer mobile financial services in Pakistan.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Telenor Pakistan announced today that the company&#8217;s customer base has crossed 25 million subscribers.

Speaking about the landmark, Aamir Ibrahim, Chief Marketing Officer, Telenor Pakistan, said: “With our strong people-focused culture, which is our core strength, and a wide distribution network, we are set to take on new challenges and reach new heights.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Telenor Pakistan has announced the next phase of its ‘Karo Mumkin’ initiative. The two winning ideas that emerged from the recently concluded campaign will now be turned into projects and launched later this year. Telenor Pakistan’s Karo Mumkin initiative aims at helping people realize possibilities.</p>
<p>At a press conference held at Telenor Pakistan’s head office, the two winners shared details of their projects. Fariha Ambreen spoke about her project &#8216;Recycle Paper to Provide Notebooks to Schools for Under Privileged Children&#8217; while Abdul Haq Mohiuddin gave details about his project &#8216;Donate Rs100 from your Monthly Salary to Make Education Possible for Street Children&#8217;. The two will work with project consultants and auditors Earnest &#038; Young.</p>
<p>Talking about the Karo Mumkin projects, Usman Javaid, Director Marketing Telenor Pakistan said: “Telenor Pakistan is providing the funds, the means and the tools needed for the projects to reach completion with the confidence that they will benefit the people of Pakistan. It has been a fulfilling journey and I am sure the spirit will inspire others to launch similar initiatives.”</p>
<p>Fariha Ambreen, one of the project owners, said: “It has been a gratifying experience to work on the project with Telenor Pakistan. I am in talks with 50-plus organizations which will become collection points for waste paper; I have already spoken with a premium packaging company in Lahore to convert the waste paper into notebooks. I am now looking at schools where the notebooks will be provided. I am excited at being able to turn my idea in reality. Although we have not reached our destination yet but we are certainly on our way.”Abdul Haq Mohiuddin, the other project owner, said: “With Telenor Pakistan&#8217;s help and the project management consultants, I have been able to turn my idea into reality. I plan to launch a website to help people donate online and through easypaisa services. Considering that on an average 1800 students graduate from a university every year, imagine the possibilities if they would donate just Rs100 from their monthly salary for this cause.”</p>
<p>To implement their ideas, the two winners will establish NGO’s with the names ‘Sabz’ and ‘Edvolution’. The hope is that these eventually become self-sustaining. Telenor Pakistan representatives will act as advisory members on the Board of Trustees.</p>
<p>Telenor Pakistan&#8217;s Karo Mumkin show began airing in July 2010 and was designed to enable people to turn a patriotic idea into reality. The Karo Mumkin show asked audiences to send in their ideas by responding to the question ‘Where Do You See Pakistan in the Future?’ Over 24,000 ideas were received of which two were selected by a jury panel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Telenor Pakistan has announced results for the fourth quarter of 2010. Pakistan’s second largest cellular company continued to out-perform the industry by registering above average growth. At the end of Q4 2010, the number of subscribers reached 24.7 million, showing a year-on-year growth of 10%. EBITDA margin has remained strong in the quarter, growing by 9% as compared to the same period last year. The year closed with Telenor Pakistan retaining its subscriber market share of 24.5%.</p>
<p> Jon Eddy Abdullah, CEO Telenor Pakistan while commenting on the results said:“I am pleased to share Telenor Pakistan’s latest financial results. These show sustained growth both in the last quarter of 2010 and throughout the year. Telenor Pakistan continues to show solid performance in the face of a number of challenges such as the widespread floods, power shortages and the security situation. For 2011, we look up to the government to rationalize the taxation structure for the telecom sector to ensure the industry continues to contribute long-term to the economy of Pakistan.”</p>
<p> In the previous quarter, Telenor Pakistan along with its partner Tameer Microfinance Bank received global recognition for easypaisa when they were presented the <strong>‘Best Mobile Money Transfer Entrant of the Year Award’</strong>. Easypaisa was pitted against some of the leading mobile financial service providers in the world, such as Vodafone and Safaricom, and outshone mobile operators Grameenphone, Banglalink and Vodafone to become the winner.</p>
<p>Also in the previous quarter, as part of its <em>Khuddar Pakistan</em> Corporate Responsibility initiative, Telenor Pakistan organized the <strong>First National Virtual Leadership Conference on International Day of Persons with Disabilities</strong> in which disability leaders called for the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.purepakistani.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/100806-transferto_logo.png"></a>PR&#8212; </strong>Telenor Pakistan and TransferTo, the international mobile airtime top-up network, have joined hands to enable International Top-Ups to Telenor subscribers from overseas, both companies announced today. Pakistanis living abroad can now conveniently top-up their loved ones’ phones with Telenor Pakistan airtime through any of TransferTo’s authorized partners, as well as the consumer-facing website, <a href="http://www.transferto.com/">http://www.transferto.com</a>.</p>
<p>Pakistani subscribers in Saudi Arabia, for example, can send Telenor Pakistan top-ups simply by SMS if they are STC subscribers, a TransferTo partner operator. The transaction is processed in real-time through TransferTo’s secure platform.  Top-ups towards Telenor Pakistan on TransferTo can be as low as 100 rupees and as high as 5,000 rupees for any given transaction.There are approximately 7 million Pakistanis living abroad. For many, topping up a phone in their home country is a great way to make a low cost, high value gift to friends and family on special occasions such as birthdays or religious holidays.</p>
<p>“We are excited to add Telenor Pakistan to our list of receiving operators and increase coverage of Pakistan in the process,” said Eric Barbier, TransferTo Founder and CEO. “Now, Pakistanis living abroad can easily send airtime to their loved ones back home.”</p>
<p>Chief Marketing Officer Telenor Pakistan, Lars Christian Iuel said, “Telenor Pakistan is always looking at possibilities to expand its outreach to its customers and provide them with unique services, no matter where they are. This is an exciting time for us. We are pleased to introduce a service that will help our international customers send airtime back home and stay connected across borders.”</p>

<p><strong>5<sup>th</sup> August, 2010. Islamabad. Telenor Pakistan has pledged Rs. 100 Million in funding and telecommunication services, towards relief and rehabilitation of flood affectees.

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Chief Strategy Officer and VP Corporate Affairs, Telenor Pakistan, Aamir Ibrahim said, “In this hour of need, where millions have been affected by devastating floods across the country, Telenor Pakistan stands by its brethren. We will contribute through donating funds, offering our telecommunication services and volunteering our collective employee efforts towards the rehabilitation of the affectees. We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and the destruction caused by recent floods. We are sure that this humble effort will help those who need it most.”</p>
<p> Secretary General, Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS), Brig. (Retd.) Muhammad Ilyas Khan appreciated Telenor Pakistan’s timely contribution. He said, “This is a great initiative from Telenor Pakistan and hopefully will also encourage other organizations to contribute in a similar manner. This is a national crisis and everyone needs to do their part by coming forward and extending support.”</p>
<p> Telenor Pakistan runs a number of community support initiatives aimed at helping communities help themselves. In addition to becoming a disability friendly organization, Telenor Pakistan also takes a lead in extending support to disaster victims.

Other than providing crisis communication support to Edhi, National Crisis Management Cell, press and relief organizations, Telenor Pakistan also made a contribution of Rs. 65 million to the President Earthquake Relief Fund and International Red Cross after the 2005 earthquake. Telenor Pakistan and PRCS also worked together during the IDP crisis to help thousands of displaced people from tribal areas of Pakistan.   </p>

<p>Of the 50 solar-powered cell sites established, 47 are in the USF-assisted areas of Mirpur Khas and Bahawalpur. The sites are providing telecommunication services to nearly 1.63 million people who previously lacked any such access. The other three sites are in Islamabad and Khyber-Pukhtoonkhwa.</p>
<p> The solar-powered cell sites are an outcome of Telenor Pakistan’s Green Energy Project that aims to provide environment-friendly telecommunications solutions.</p>
<p> Khalid Shehzad, Chief Technology Officer, Telenor Pakistan commenting on the achievement said: “We are delighted to have created the largest solar-powered cell network in the USF-assisted areas of Mirpur Khas and Bahawalpur. With the deployment of solar-powered cell sites our aim is to provide environment-friendly telecommunication services even in the remotest areas of Pakistan. By doing so we are reducing power demands on the national grid and also helping to reduce carbon emissions. Alternative energy solutions are the way forward and we will continue to explore greener, more environment friendly solutions for our business.”</p>
<p> USF is a government fund set up with the aim to provide basic data and telephony services to the unserved and underserved areas of the country.</p>
<p>Solar energy is one of the salient features of Telenor Pakistan’s Green Energy Project that will help in preventing emission on average of 2.5 tons of carbon dioxide per site per year.</p>
