So top 4 left now? Now just one need to give up. Looks like bidding will finish around Rs 5 billion.

Less than Rs 200 million left to touch historic figure of Rs 5,000 million. 3rd highest bid for each of 3 DTH licences is Rs 4,820 million

maybe not a all-good news, cos someone has to pay for the bidding.
that means, low quality may appear later.

Bechara Smart Sky (PTCL) is out of the game. They even made website before anyone else lol

Startimes comunication is from China, only foreign company bidding.
