“Earlier USF announced postponement of auction of upcoming USF rural telephony lots of Khuzdar, Kalat and Mastung-Nushki.  An open discussion Forum with all potential bidders was planned to be held in the week starting on 19th October 2009. However due to prevailing security issues the event could not be arranged as per plan.

The schedule and appropriate venue for the forum shall be communicated to the stakeholders once it is finalized.”
------------------------------------------------------

USF has been approached by multiple potential bidders registering their concerns about the commercial aspects of upcoming Rural Telephony lots. In this regard, several suggestions have also been presented by the potential bidders to make the lots somewhat commercially viable. Keeping in view several such requests of potential bidders, USF has decided to deliberate on the suggestions in more detail.

In view of the above, auction of Mastung-Nushki Lot is being withheld for the time being.
