MGT619 final project GDB Scenario

Telecom sector is considered as one of the most significant and high revenue generating sector of Pakistan. It is substantially contributing to the national economy of Pakistan as compared to other sectors. Ultimately, both local and international companies are confronted with high competition in this particular sector.
