Apple not only entered 5G with the iPhone, but also entered network technology. New reports suggest that after years of research and development, Apple will be integrating its own home-grown cellular modems into some of its products for the first time, possibly as soon as next year. Why build a modem in the first place? But Mark Gurman, whose frequent inside scoops have put him at the apex of arguably the most sophisticated industrial watchdog operation in corporate history, isn’t quite sure how the job benefits him. He argues that while the M4 chip and other processors developed by Apple’s…
The Tariff Classification Committee of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided to apply customs duty of 11% on the import of “4G MiFi modems and Mobile WiFi modems”. The decision was taken based on the findings of the Tariff Classification Committee. The Classification Committee concluded that “4G MiFi modems and mobile WiFi modems” should be correctly classified under Pakistan Tariff (PCT) heading 8517.6220. The decision puts an end to an earlier confusion where the Central Customs Inspection Office, Lahore, had wrongly applied customs laws on the import of “Mobile WiFi Modems”, causing severe problems for importers. The Central…
Access is denied: Homegrown IT ventures are the country’s fastest-growing export sector, according to the Pakistan Software Houses Association, but the Asian nation is now facing a potentially devastating blow to its nascent tech industry due to government-led attempts at censorship.

In a recent press release, the association blamed the government for forcing the “burgeoning” technology industry to face ruin as authorities implemented a “censorship firewall”. The government’s actions have caused “unprecedented” operational…

There is hardly any area of business that the influential Arnault family is not involved in. LVMH is their most famous company, and their vast luxury fashion empire owns Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, TAG Heuer, and more.

But some of Arnault’s latest interests lie far from retail and luxury: Europe’s richest man…
