VSATs can be provided in Pakistan if service provider has LDI license. I am working with several such LDI operators. I can arrange this VSAT service for you. Please let me know if this is a poin-to-point VSAT or are you looking for Internet over satellite.

Please feel free to contact me at: amukherjee@globetechsolution.com

Service in Pakistan is OK.

We recently supplied an iDirect platform (1.8m) on Express AM22.

Nabeel,
That answer is right and wrong at the same time, in order to install a VSAT in Pakistan you need to have a DINOPS license, this will allow you to transmit data from point to point with in the country, and you are not allowed to use a foreign satellite with this license for security reasons. There are 17 licenses in the country that can be use to have access using a foreign satellite, this licenses were granted for the growth of calling centers since they are providing growing income in to the country. We are providing 4 of this links using Intelsat 64 East.
