NEDian headed for IETF Fellowship

Posted by Tee Emm on January 27, 2009

Haris Shamsi (linkedin profile) belongs to the Electrical Engineering batch of 1994-95 (graduated in 1998). Haris is probably the youngest professional in the local technology sphere to wield a lot of positive control when it comes to implementing Internet technologies correctly, consistently, and to world standards in the budding data industry of Pakistan.

Haris currently works as the head of Product Development for Mobilink Infinity, a project that will have a great impact on Pakistan’s data infrastructure. By its very nature the project will be definitive. Estimated to be a ~$200 million project, Mobilink Infinity is about quenching the broadband thirst of a nation that is very young in terms of data infrastructure but which has already showed a very high level of maturity in the voice domain. The technology behind the project is Wimax, and the equipment is being supplied by Alcatel Lucent and Motorola. WAIT! There is more to read… read on »

Obama: What does he mean for the Tech Industry?

Posted by Sabahat (iFaqeer) on August 30, 2008

One thing I have been wondering about Obama and what he said yesterday is what he means for Silicon Valley and Industry/Tech generally. Specifically, what does it mean to eliminate capital gains for start-ups, and stopping tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and giving them to companies that create jobs in the US of A? To keep the discussion in one place, I’d like–with the indulgence of PTH adminstoration, to invite folks to discuss this on our Wadi Blog in Silicon Valley:

Though for issues specifically related to tech and industry in Pakistan and/or NEDians role in this, let’s talk here, or on the Pak Tea House.
