MUMBAI: Pakistan telecom is planning to offer IPTV services in order to enter the triple play space and thereby boost its telecommunication service.

Pakistan IT and Telecommunications minister Awais Leghari has been quoted in a media report as saying that the new plan was part of the government's policy to not only boost investment in its telecommunication sector but also to bring improvement in services.

Leghari Tuesday added that Pakistan was likely to attract up to $ 4 billion investment in the telecom sector in the next three to four years given the tremendous scope for growth and hunger for telecom services in the country.

"The telecom sector is Pakistan is poised for a massive growth in the coming years and already the sector has employed some 20,000 workforce so far which is expected to increase considerably over time," he said in a meeting with International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Secretary General Yoshio Utsumi.
