Man who cares about how many storeys it has, what's the point of building 80 story skycrapers in the middle of nowhere when you don't need them? They cheapen the land value and ruin the landscape unless they're complimented by other similar sized buildings.

Warid will implement country wide WiMAX (802.16e standard) with Motorola as equipment supplier. It's not specific to just Islamabad.
