Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Thank you for sharing on services
@Adnan – easypaisa is different from paypal in many ways. But it does allow a new way of sending money to others so it shares that feature with paypal.
@Saleem – I think the coverage will improve as more players jump in. This is just the beginning.
@Matt – completely agree with you about the education and the need for the regulator to watch this carefully.
When EasyPaisa was launched, it was impossible that one can watch TV for half-an-hour and escape its commercial.
On the ground, however, network of associated partners seems rather thin. I have mostly come across mobile phones and accessories shops to be associated outlets, which is not the place where a common man does his grocery as shown in adverts.
Babar bhai, is this service something similar to Paypal which is popular for micro payments?
AS: NIFT has been doing it for long time.
