OVERVIEW OF THE ORGANIZATION
Brief History of World Call
In 1996 First Capital Securities Corporation began to incubate a payphone
operation called World call Payphones Limited. The new venture stood at the
front end of a communication revolution that was yet to grip the country. Our
perception of a changing business environment placed World call at the lead of a
demand-led explosion of payphones all over the country. We installed our first
payphone in June 1996. Today World call has over 54,000 payphones all over the
country. We are one of the largest fixed line payphone operator and the pioneers
of “Supervised Payphones” business model in Pakistan
telecom we have continued to innovate. Over the years we have invested in new
technologies and businesses. In 1998 prepaid calling cards were launched by
World call Phone cards under the brand name "Hello". In the following year the
group established dial-up internet services through World call Dot Com.
In 1999 World call Telecom Lanka established the Groups' first overseas presence
when payphone operations were established in Sri Lanka
In 2000 World call Multimedia established a Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC)
scalable network in Lahore
country, providing cable television and Internet-over-cable. In cable TV in
