This latest research of 2009 by NSN has rated the connectivity of Pakistan as 1.54; this is a very low rating indeed. In the scorecard of Pakistan, the positive response is from the consumer side but the political instability has put the country in low ratings of the connectivity. In the total scenario of Pakistan the big and the possible ray of light is coming through the telecommunication sector, in Pakistan this sector has not shown any undulation yet and there is no political, religious or any other reason to bowdlerize this sector in any case. Despite this the political instability had also effect the investors in the telecom region. The foreign investment always being undulant due to the very same political up and downs in Pakistan, despite all this the consumer response is always increasing in Pakistan. Telecommunication industry has made a great role in the economy of Pakistan and still it is contributing at its peak, but Pakistan is however is behind the ICT original goal of making the targets. The connectivity scorecard is basically needed to make a relationship between deployment and the usage of ICT in the economic growth. The main sources of the welfare of are the utility for the users and the productivity for the business.
