 In The USF Declines to Launch Telecom Projects in AJK & GB Universal Service Fund was established by the government of Pakistan and is the subsidiary of the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom (MoiTT). The primary motive of the body is to promote the expansion of telecommunication services in under-served areas throughout the country. In a recent meeting with USF, the GB Chief Minister said that the domain of the USF should be expanded to Gilgit-Baltistan as soon as possible in order to improve internet connectivity in the region. However, USF refused to launch telecom projects in the regions of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir. Reasons for not providing telecom services in GB & AJK The reason they provided for the refusal is that the two regions are constitutionally not part of the country. Consequently, the cellular mobile companies could object to the utilization of the amount generated in that part of the country. Furthermore, the IT and telecom...

 Pakistan Needs $6 bn Investment for Optic Fibre Internet Connectivity  It is a well-known truth that Pakistan’s fixed broadband network is inadequate in servicing the rising internet demands of the country. If Pakistan does not upgrade its fixed broadband infrastructure to a high-speed fibre optic network, its digital potential will continue to be under-realised. According to the latest report prepared by TABADLAB, Pakistan needs a $6 bn investment for optic fibre internet connectivity. According to a working paper titled “The Fixed Broadband Challenge: Building the runway for Pakistan’s Economic Take-Off”, countries like Malaysia, Bangladesh and Vietnam have done well to expand their infrastructure and services. Their examples can provide Pakistani leaders with key insights on how important the role of fibre expansion can be for the digital transformation of the country. Pakistan Needs $6 bn Investment for Optic Fibre Internet Connectivity No doubt, the internet in Pakistan ...

 The Firefox Focus Gets a Major Privacy Protection Feature on Android Firefox has been a huge advocate of security and privacy from the start and has now decided to bring its best feature of the Focus browser to Android. The feature titled Total Cookie Protection helps prevent cross-site tracking. Firefox prevents cross-site tracking by storing the cookies into a virtual ‘cookie jar,’ preventing websites from accessing information about online behavior. Websites access a user’s online activity for better ad targeting and to learn more about shopping preferences. Anytime a website, or third-party deposits a cookie in the browser, Firefox Focus confines that cookie to a cookie jar assigned specifically for that website. Using this method prevents websites from reaching into cookie jars not assigned to them. Firefox Focus’s Total Cookie Protection has been available for quite some time for the desktop version and is enabled by default. The company took some time integrating the featur...

 In The Govt Approves National Science, Technology & Innovation Policy   The federal cabinet has approved the Science, Technology & Innovation Policy-2021, formulated by the Ministry of Science & Technology (S&T), to cater to the needs facing different sectors of the country. It is to note that this is the country’s third S&T policy since its independence, as the first national S&T policy was approved in 1984 and the second policy was introduced in 2012. The previous two policies faced implementation issues and failed to produce desired results. The Ministry of S&T formulated the new policy to meet the challenges of the new era, especially in view of the change in the country’s socio-economic dynamics owing to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and other projects, the scientific innovations, and the new emerging technologies. The new policy emphasizes the need for addressing the challenges facing various sectors. It covers the basic needs o...

 The Researchers Find a Way to Make OLED Screens at Home Researchers at the  University of Minnesota Twin Cities  have managed to create the world’s first fully 3D printed OLED screen. This development will let you produce your own 3D-printed OLED screens at home. If your TV screen gets damaged, you will no longer need to send it back to the manufacturer in the future. You will no longer need to depend on display panels made at large or send them to distant factories to get them repaired. The newly discovered method combines two different ways of 3D printing to produce the six layers of materials used in OLED screens. The research team used extrusion printing to make the electrodes, encapsulation, insulation, and interconnects, while the active layers were spray-painted at room temperature. Previous attempts at producing OLED screens through 3D printing either had issues with light uniformity or used techniques outside of 3D printing such as spin coating or thermal evapor...
