wi-tribe Pakistan, rated number one for customer satisfaction, and Al-Khawarizmi Institute of Computer Science, University of Engineering and Technology (KICS-UET) unveiled ‘wi-cam’ at a press conference held at the UET campus today.

wi-cam, a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Management and Administration tool, developed by students and graduates of KICS-UET using open-source technology, allows broadband companies, such as wi-tribe, to remotely configure and manage CPEs, while receiving instant notifications and access to live data. Not only does this result in an improved customer care experience, it also enables customers to continue enjoying seamless connectivity.

wi-tribe entered into a strategic public-private partnership with KICS-UET to conceive, develop and launch a fully funded research and development program, enabling the innovation of this breakthrough feature-rich management tool. With wi-cam, wi-tribe and UET jointly demonstrate that sourcing local development of critical customer service innovation is not only possible, but also essential to the proliferation of technical capabilities within Pakistan.

“At wi-tribe, we thrive on the potential of the Pakistani youth and are eager to foster innovative ideas that can elevate the local IT industry to international standards. With remote CPE management capabilities, providing real-time updates and support allows wi-tribe to stay focused on customer satisfaction”, said Dr. Tanveer-ul-Haq, Vice President Technical at wi-tribe Pakistan.

This is the first of many other locally developed business tools that will aid the industry in setting new global standards in customer care, operational efficacy and return on investment, while ensuring a long-term vision with public-private partnerships between academic institutions and the internet service industry.

“At KICS-UET, researchers are keen on capitalizing open source technologies and developing cost effective solutions for local telecom and IT industry. wi-cam is a product built with local talent and it has helped KICS-UET researchers better understand software needs of the telecom industry. With these leading steps we foresee significant growth in such collaborative arrangement in telecom industry in Pakistan”, said Dr. Waqar Mahmood, Director KICS-UET.

Lt. Gen. (R) Muhammad Akram Khan, Vice-Chancellor of UET, said “This is an achievement, not just for UET and wi-tribe, but for the entire telecom industry. KICS-UET is extremely proud of this successful collaboration with wi-tribe and looks forward to continuing the partnership. wi-cam is innovation brought to life by Pakistani students and graduates, showcasing local capabilities.”

By significantly enhancing customer care, wi-cam has already begun to revolutionize customer experience and promises to do so for the industry at large. Going ahead, wi-tribe is looking forward to continuing its contribution to the industry’s growth through such initiatives, especially those showcasing the technology-capable youth of Pakistan.

Nokia Equity Program 2012

2012-01-27T11:11:00.000-08:00

Nokia Equity Program 2012

Espoo, Finland - Nokia announced that Nokia's Board of Directors has approved the Nokia Equity Program 2012 consisting of Performance Shares, dependent on the achievement of two independent financial performance criteria; Restricted Shares, used together with Performance Shares; and Stock options, used on a more limited basis.

As the transition of Nokia's business continues, the Nokia Equity Program 2012 will support the participants' focus and alignment with the company's strategy and targets. The primary equity instruments for the executive employees are performance shares and stock options. For directors below the executive level, the primary equity instruments are performance shares and restricted shares. Below the director level, performance shares and restricted shares are used on a selective basis to ensure retention and recruitment of functional mastery and other employees deemed critical to Nokia's future success.

Nokia's balanced approach and use of the performance-based plan in conjunction with the restricted share plan as the main long-term incentive vehicles effectively contribute to the long-term value creation and sustainability of the company. They also ensure that the overall equity-based compensation is based on performance while ensuring the recruitment and retention of talent vital to the future success of Nokia.

Approximately 4500 employees are expected to participate in the Nokia Equity Program 2012.

Under the Performance Share Plan 2012, Nokia shares will be delivered provided that the financial performance reaches at least one of the required threshold levels measured by two independent performance criteria. The performance criteria are average annual net sales and earnings per share for the performance period. The threshold and maximum levels for the Performance Share Plan 2012 are scheduled to be determined and disclosed during the first quarter of 2012. No Performance Shares will be granted under the plan prior to that. The Plan has a two-year performance period (2012-2013) and a subsequent one-year restriction period. Accordingly, the amount of shares based on the financial performance during the two-year period will vest after the third year. The grant of Performance Shares in 2012 may result in an aggregate maximum payout of 36 million Nokia shares, should the maximum level for both performance criteria be met.

The Restricted Share Plan 2012 has a three-year restriction period. The grant of Restricted Shares in 2012 may result in an aggregate maximum payout of 14 million Nokia shares.

As part of the Nokia Equity Program 2012, stock options will be granted under the Nokia Stock Option Plan 2011 approved by the Annual General Meeting 2011. Stock options can be granted under the Stock Option Plan 2011 until the end of 2013 and they have a vesting period of 50 % of stock options vesting three years after grant and the remaining 50 % vesting four years from grant. The planned maximum number of stock options to be granted during 2012 is approximately 8.5 million.

As of December 31, 2011, the total maximum dilution effect of Nokia's equity program currently outstanding, assuming that the performance shares would be delivered at maximum level, is approximately 1.8 %. The potential maximum effect of the Nokia Equity Program 2012, again assuming the delivery at maximum level, would be approximately another 1.6 %.

Settlements under various Nokia equity plans
The performance period for the Performance Share Plan 2009 ended on December 31, 2011, and there will be no settlement to the participants under the plan as the threshold performance criteria of EPS and Average Annual Net Sales Growth were not met. To fulfill the Company's obligations under other, considerably more limited equity incentive plans, Nokia's Board of Directors has resolved to issue a total amount of 1 010 000 Nokia shares (NOK1V) held by the Company to settle its commitment to approximately 400 participants, employees of the Nokia Group.

PTA and SBP signed a MoU to promote mobile banking services

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) & State Bank of Pakistan have jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 11th January 2012 at Karachi, to formalize cooperation between the two institutions for a common objective of promoting Mobile Banking in Pakistan. With this MoU, both the regulators (PTA and SBP) have shown their interest and commitment in stimulating mobile banking services in the country. The MoU was signed at a local hotel in Karachi after a meeting of all stakeholders involved in Mobile Banking followed by a signing ceremony. Mr. Farooq Ahmed Awan, Secretary (IT),, Mr. Yaseen Anwer Governor State Bank of Pakistan and Dr. Muhammad Yaseen Chairman PTA witnessed the ceremony. Senior management of the commercial banks, cellular Mobile operators as well as seniors officers from PTA and SBP also attended the ceremony.

Chairman PTA, Dr. Muhammad Yaseen while addressing the audience highlighted the potential of Mobile Banking services in Pakistan as only 12% of the adult population of Pakistan has access to formal banking services so far. Out of totlal population of 177 Million, only 27 million people have access to the banking services. Today Pakistan has over 122 million cellular mobile subscribers which is the potential target market for mobile banking services. With the upcoming 3G licensing this potential will increase by many folds.

Governor State Bank of Pakistan while speaking at the event, said that MoU signed between PTA and State Bank will be remembered as a mile stone in the history of Telecom and banking sectors. He said that branchless banking in Pakistan will have positive impact on the GDP growth of the country. He further said that branchless banking is a modern facility which will be beneficial for people of Pakistan. Admiring the role of PTA, the Governor State Bank said that it is a vibrant and forward looking regulator which is playing important role to promote and develop the emerging field of branchless and mobile banking in the country. The Governor State Bank said at present the number branchless banking in the country is slightly over 10,000. Total number of accounts opened till now stand at over 800,000. The average number of transactions a day through branchless banking are around 180,000 he added.

As agreed with SBP, PTA will issue Class Value Added Services licenses to third party services Providers who will act as facilitator and mediator between telcos and financial institutions for smooth transactions, data verification and mobile banking applications. This arrangement will be made in accordance with Third Party Service Provider Regulations to be issued by PTA as well as guidelines by SBP. Third Party licenses will be beneficial for the FI’s and Mobile operators as it will avoid cost duplication as well as reduce the cost of provision of mobile banking services. Through Third Party Service Providers (TPSP), Mobile Consumer of any network would be able to receive and transfer money all across the country. Particularly, the lower strata of the country would be able to remit their finances back home easily. After implementation of proposed arrangement, the consumers will have the most attractive benefit of keeping bank account in their pocket with advantages like low cost and fast transfers etc.
