A 2-part special, Jehan Ara, President of P@SHA, caught hold of Dr. Umar Saif on his recent trip to Karachi and got him to talk about “What makes an entrepreneur successful in Pakistan”.

India’s biggest IT companies now employ more than 150,000 employees. TCS revenue for 2009 is $6 Billion. As I have always said, we cannot compete in services with these guys.

Video of “Line Of Wire (Dr. Umer Saif)” is very very slow and video starts buffering after every 2-3 seconds.
Plz note that I am using DSL , so there is no problem of connection speed.

@naseem, Hmmm… Naseem? I just checked the video again and it seems to actually buffer very quickly and I run a VERY slow connection… Possible for you to check other videos on other sites and see if you are still having the same problem? Possible for anyone else to test and check the video?
