“Haan internet affordable hou tou kyun nai ziada istemal karaygein? Zaroor karay gein.” [Yes, why wouldn’t we use the internet if it was more affordable? Of course, we will], says 36-year-old Mazhar from Bakote, Abbottabad.
He slips in this information as we discuss the kind of internet access he has and its increased usage over the last two years. Mazhar works at a canteen in a university in Islamabad while his wife lives in his ancestral town in Abbottabad.
