ZONG is the winner in addition of Subscribers
The recently released PTA report on cellular subscribers showed ZONG as the clear winner for the third quarter of 2010, with a net addition of over 740,000 subscribers in the period. This brought the total number of subscribers under the company to just around 7.5 million.

It was in 2008 that the disturbed and troubled carcass of PakTel was bought out by China Telecom, making it the first international endeavor for the Chinese telecommunication giant.
