News Summary:

On August 21, 2026, Zong and the Sindh government agreed to establish an AI-ready Tier-III data center in Karachi through a public-private partnership, aiming to strengthen the city's digital infrastructure. The agreement was discussed during a meeting between Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and Zong Chairman and CEO Huo Junli. Earlier the same day, Karachi led Pakistan's early 5G deployment, hosting more operational sites than any other city five months after commercial services commenced, even as nationwide rollout continued to face infrastructure and accessibility hurdles. This followed a broader investment of approximately $178.6 million by telecom operators in Pakistan for 5G services, with 1,136 sites upgraded across the country as of that date, according to data from the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication.
