Lahore, Pakistan, December 15th, 2007: Wateen Telecom, an Abu Dhabi
Group venture in Pakistan, will be launching its WiMAX and HFC services
for the consumer markets tomorrow. The launch will allow Wateen
customers to have voice, telephony and broadband internet.

Wateen Telecom has been working on establishing a wireless network
infrastructure since early 2006, and installed the network in early
2007. Their WiMAX service is a major breakthrough in the Pakistani
broadband market as it will be a fast and cost-effective alternative to
existing broadband services.

The development of the network has been carried out by Motorola, and
is the largest WiMAX network ever installed. The project is a milestone
for both the companies, as well as the nation, as it is expected to
herald a broadband revolution in Pakistan, catering to more than one
million users.

Tariq Malik, CEO, Wateen Telecom, “We are providing Pakistani
consumers with complete communication solutions. Services such as high
speed broadband internet and voice telephony will have a direct impact
on the number of broadband users online. We are contributing to the
growing market.”

Wateen Telecom’s launch is Pakistan’s first and the world’s largest
WiMAX deployment. The team is confident of the market’s growth and of
the long term benefits these services and solutions will bring to
Pakistan.
