Whereas, stakeholders of digital service providers are trying to change the exchange system from one to other society. Whilst, MPs has advanced in some countries, but few are still facing the resistance by people due to dominancy of old system and lack of MP solutions. Whereas, in Pakistan existing MP services are generally offered by FIs and telecom sector.
