BUSINESS MODEL:

KESC and WAPDA will sell the power in wholesale to the power and also the distribution rights on the existing power lines to these smaller companies, who will then bill the customers directly, the customer will have the choice to be billed by any of the new power companies. The power companies will pay the royalty on the usage of the power lines, and if they want they can lay down new copper also from the grid station / substation to the homes / businesses.

These companies will make profit by providing a better service in billing, and will find efficient ways to save on the cost, and bring new revenue streams ie new kinds of automated meters, internet over power lines, and cable over power lines etc., As time will go on they will grow their network and will be more popular if they are found more efficient, among the business sectors and the new constructions in the cities.

So Chinese and English get the top spots, no surprises there. But number 3 is Spanish, replacing Hindi in the top 3 spoken languages (more on this in a future post). Chinese is counted as one language here because the different dialects use a common writing system, although their spoken versions (eg Mandarin, Cantonese etc) are quite different.

In 2020 this ranking could look very different. Chinese now outnumber Americans online, according to a report released this month. How long before Chinese replaces English in the number one spot?Spanish is also increasing quickly, as is Arabic. With only a small percentage of its native speaker population online, Arabic is likely to rocket up this list in the next few years.
