The government of Pakistan has given a deadline of mid June 2016 to Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) for conducing auction of the remaining spectrum, as it needs Rs 65 billion revenue for meeting budget deficit for ongoing fiscal year, official sources revealed. PTA has reportedly informed the government that InterConnect Communication; the UK-based consultant for spectrum auction has recommended holding the auction process next year. It was further detailed that now a sub-committee of experts is engaged in conducting techno-economic review to reach final decision regarding the auction. However the Finance Ministry is sticking to its guns and is reportedly pressing the Authority for conducting auction in the current financial year. According to sources Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has chaired a meeting to review current status and progress of the next spectrum auction. Minister of State for IT, Anusha Rahman Khan and Chairman PTA Syed Ismail Shah briefed the meeting on

Music lovers, it’s your time to rejoice! SoundCloud  has finally sealed the deal with Sony Music to increase the number of songs that listeners can access. The deal is also expected to help Sony Music artists to make a profit off their tracks hosted on the service. This isn’t the first deal SoundCloud has signed off as it had previously signed an agreement with the likes of Merlin, Universal Music Group and even Warner Music for access to thousands of tracks – making it a fierce rival for Spotify and Pandora. With this deal, SoundCloud will be hosting over 110 million tracks which will turn the platform into the lord of music streaming kingdom (an exaggeration coming from a SoundCloud fanatic!). This deal however comes after last year’s fiasco where Sony Music removed original recordings of over a dozen artists including names as Adele, Hozier, Miguel, Kelly Clarkson as negotiations between the two groups went kaput. Rumor has it that the ‘lack of monetization,’ was the main reas

For over five decades, elections in Pakistan have been marred by violence, malpractice and allegations of fraud. There are inexplicable delays in announcing the results and in many instances, complaints of duplicate and unaccountable votes. The experiments with electronic ink have also resulted in very limited success making the verification of the votes even more dubious. To top it all, the turnout on the Election Day has never been overwhelming. A large part of our population remains at home on Election Day fearing unrest at the polling stations. A lot of people from rural areas and semi urban areas are out of their constituency to work in larger cities and miss out on the chance to vote for their areas as it is impractical to travel and spend so much money to vote. But what if we can come up with a way to include every Pakistani — or at least majority of the nation — in the voting process without the need to leave their home? Is there a way which is equally accessible and un

For Latest Jobs in Pakistan & UAE Visit www.amdani.pk Intel was already into the camera business with its 3D RealSense cameras, used in some high-end laptops, tablets and Google’s Project Tango. Without any preceding rumours, Intel has just announced that it has acquired Replay Technologies, a move that marks its foray into sports broadcasting business. The company uses a unique 3D video rendering feature called “Free dimensional” or “freeD” video. The technology definitely has a much broader use than sports events as far as Intel is concerned. Replay Technologies offered a new service which lets viewers watch some moments of a game with a 360 degree view, the central figure or person is shown from all sides in a fluid continuous motion. These 360 degrees views of the players were seen in some recent cricket, basketball, tennis and football games.

Tired of your phone running out of battery just before an important phone call or Skype meeting? Abdullah Soomro, a 23 year old entrepreneur from Pakistan, has invented a power bank called  ‘Flash Pack’,  which charges up completely in just 14 minutes from any standard laptop charger. Just in under quarter of an hour, this charger packs up enough power to last for one and half charge of an iPhone 6S, making your Mobile devices truly Mobile. Flash Pack is currently under development with a fully functional prototype and will be shipping to early backers by June 2016. Flash Pack addresses a very important issue when it comes to charging devices directly from a wall socket or from power packs – the amount of time consumed. Battery banks charge at the same speed as your phone would take to charge, adding convenience but killing the purpose of saving time. Flash Pack’s Patent pending technology overcomes that problem by making charging fast, efficient and convenient for people who rely

The Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) launched a ‘Women Business Growth Centre’ on Tuesday, to encourage and promote women entrepreneurship, which is an innovative initiative in the private sector. This is expected to be a great initiative for current and aspiring women entrepreneurs in Pakistan. Women in Pakistan are gradually making a mark in tech and commerce sector with eminent names leading the industry. With the launch of the WBGC, there is hope for facilitating women in achieving their business goals, which, until now, used to be mostly self-sustained campaigns rather than those powered by grassroots instituitional support. Services You can Expect to Get A woman entrepreneur in Pakistan is highly restricted when it comes to legal and financial support. She often does not have an idea of the registration process for a business and neither does she have any exposure to industry mechanics. This greatly restricts her potential as she has to rely on banks, inv

The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) filed a complaint to the Capital Development Authority (CDA) against the flying of drones and cam copters. The complaint pleads that, These drones can be used by miscreants to conduct terrorist acts in areas that have been secured and safeguarded against ground attacks.’ Following the filing of complaints, the concerned authorities have banned such drones in specific areas citing safety and privacy reasons. The safety regulations however are only applicable to the Fatima Jinnah Park (F-9) area currently. Additionally, the ban on drones will also last for two months, though why this limited time frame has been chosen remains a mystery. Isn’t the idea to curb the practice altogether if terrorist activities are the threat here? Or perhaps, the ban will stay in effect until the upcoming Pakistan Day concludes on 23rd March. Coincidence? The city administration has echoed similar concerns over drones and their effect on the Pakistan Day Parade that wil

Microsoft’s Universal Windows Platform may have seen acclaim since its announcement, but in truth the fears of a lot of gamers could get realized through it. Penning a letter in The Guardian, Epic Games Founder Tim Sweeney has spoken against the initiative and highlighted the points he is concerned about which might eventually lead to a Microsoft-led oligarchy. For one, the platform allows developers to develop apps and games for a wide range of Microsoft hardware, including Windows 10-running devices and the Xbox One. The problem lies with the management and positioning of the system, which clearly favours Microsoft’s own store and services, rather than equal competition along with its rivals.

In an interesting move, Microsoft has decided to shift its SQL server product from Windows to Linux – an operating system loved by database admins  the world over for its flexible interface, security features and outstanding performance. This shift is quite an extraordinary affair, since Microsoft has never been known to move its products away from its main systems, but in recent years (as seen with Microsoft apps moving to Android) the company has been exploring other platforms where it can make a significant impact. With SQL Server now on Linux, expect some good stuff to roll in. For now though, the server is available in a preview version with a full release planned for the middle of 2017. According to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, the reason for moving the system is simply because, ‘Data is the core asset now and our most strategic asset is not the server operating system.’ Microsoft understands the need for secure data and Linux seems to be the best platform so far for its ef

Project Fi is Google’s first venture into the mobile service space. It teamed up with Sprint and T-Mobile in the US to form an MVNO network exclusive to the Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, and Nexus 5X. The only way you could sign up for a Project Fi account was by either buying a Nexus device through Project Fi’s website, or signing up for an invitation with your Gmail account and waiting a couple of months for your invitation to roll in. Today, Android’s blog announced its official goodbye to invites for the Fi Network. The post briefly outlines what the venture has taught Google about customers who use Project Fi such as traveling abroad, using SIM cards in other devices, and the success of relying on Public Wi-Fi. Project Fi is a US cellular network that piggy-backs its service from both Sprint and T-Mobile networks depending on which provides a more reliable connection. The network also takes advantage of public Wi-Fi networks to fill any dead coverage with a Wi-Fi only connection. Pl

Next-generation consoles are more or less a misnomer. The current consoles (Xbox One and PS4) have to walk a fine line when it comes to game resolutions and FPS (frames-per-second) rates, with trade-offs involved between the two. But according to recent statements made by Xbox boss Phil Spencer, Microsoft is exploring ways of introducing PC-like hardware upgrades to the Xbox One, a move, if true, would make the consoles business truly exciting. This statement was made on a recent Xbox and Windows 10 gaming event held on 25 February, and suffice to say, the gaming industry is abuzz with what it means for them going forward. 4k resolutions? Buttery-smooth 60FPS rate at high-def 1080p resolutions? The possibilities are exciting to fathom. Let us weigh the pros and cons of Microsoft’s Xbox One getting PC-like hardware upgrades if such an approach ends up becoming reality.
