SAMENA Telecommunications Council has elected CEO and President Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL), Mr Walid Irshaid, as the new vice chairman of its board of directors. Mr Irshaid succeeds Mr Riad Bahsoun of Telecommunications Information Technology (TIT). SAMENA board of directors now comprises of 11 major regional operators, including, Batelco Group, Omantel Group, Saudi Telecom Group, Etisalat Group, Orange-Jordan Telecom Group, Qtel Group, Turk Telekom Group, PTCL, Viva Kuwait, and Bravo.
“Mr Walid Irshaid’s election to the board adds to the leadership support that Sheikh Mohamed bin Isa Al Khalifa, Group CEO of Batelco Group, is now extending to SAMENA as its chairman,” said Chief Executive and Executive Managing Director SAMENA, Tom Wilson. “SAMENA is making strides on multiple fronts, of interest to our operator membership, and Mr Irshaid’s leadership and experience in the regional ICT are precisely what SAMENA’s membership will gain from.” “It is a great honour for me to have been entrusted with this esteemed position,” said CEO and President PTCL, Mr Irshaid. “This new honour for PTCL actually reflects SAMENA’s recognition of our company’s frontline role in fostering and leading the telecommunications revolution in Asia.” In his capacity as vice chairman of SAMENA, Mr Irshaid will aid SAMENA’s relationship-building efforts with policy circles in the SAMENA region. “As SAMENA Vice Chairman, I envision this as a great opportunity for PTCL to expand its outreach with both regional and global players thus, putting Pakistan firmly on the international map as a global telecom market leader,” said Mr Irshaid. An international information and communications technology (ICT) expert, Mr Irshaid has more than 30 years of professional experience in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia regions. Throughout his career, he has led a multitude of high-value telecom projects in several markets. His previous international stints include Emirates Telecom (Etisalat), Datanet (Lebanon), Paltel (Palestine), and FLAG (Middle East and North Africa).

    With the reference of the subject I’d like to bring into your kind knowledge that I am using your service (PTCL) since last 15years and I got the broadband connection last year with my old number (021-34919483) with 4MB speed.
    I have had some connection problem with my old number, I complained it several times and some of your staff member advised me that in order to use full and healthy service of PTCL you should buy a new number for broadband connection.
    However, we’re using this new connection since last 2months but unfortunately the service is really very poor, we’ve tired of complaining but no one is here to resolve this issue. This is taking our nerves out. Our complains on your system record you can check it.
    Secondly, we have received a bill against the month of March’12 on rupees 1140, where our connection started from mid of April’12. We had submitted an application against it but still we’re receiving this outstanding amount on our current bill. I request you to please check it your and wave off this amount.
    Moreover, this new connection had been blocked or no service almost 2 weeks on starting of this month, please also cancel this outstanding amount of our current bill.
    I humbly request you to please take some necessary action on immediate basis, to resolve this problem. Your prompt action in this regard shall be highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance !
