Rashid Khan, President and CEO Ufone speaking on the occasion said,

“Universal Service Fund (USF) was established to promote the development of telecommunication services in un-served and under-served areas throughout the length and breadth of the country. At Ufone we resonate the same goal of providing telecommunication services to every Pakistani. The project has a special significance, as an important highway in Balochistan will be connected through broadband services under this initiative.”

It is to be noted that this is the first network in Pakistan where the winning bidder will be required to enable national subscriber roaming for other consumers to benefit from the service.

Moreover, under the project seamless voice and broadband services will also be provided to the coastal highway of 694 km and for the first time in Pakistan national roaming is also being made available
