CEO of Burq Broadband, Mr. Shahid Mir, while addressing the
audience on the occasion said some magic words:
We have selected one part of the town of Peshawar i.e. Warsak Road where as a Management we felt people need a quality, reliable, affordable and a stable internet service, if money was the only aim & objective we could have started from a much higher income strata area like Hayatabad.
