This was the age of internet cards that allowed limited time access to public favorites like Hotmail and MSN Messenger, Orkut. Dish TV was also a good alternative but setting up the satellite was such a hassle. Having access to the internet became a status symbol in Pakistan at this time.

But, it was perhaps the foundation of the digital revolution in Pakistan. The telecommunication company is now the brunt of many slow internet service jokes and grievances. Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) was also founded in 1947. Entire families used to huddle up in one room around a tiny radio with the volume turned to its maximum.
