As an investor, I'd feel more secure if the PTA fines PTCL heavily for this, that way I'd know that someone other than PTCL is actively taking steps to prevent this from happening in the future. PTCL is planning to put more cables after this year: I've heard of 3 new links becomming operational: The SEAMEWE-4 cable to be operational by October, a Malaysian company by the name of Sayf group laying down underwater fibre direct to Dubai and a Pakistan-India link. All of these are supposed to be operational by the end of the year. In addition the PTA has invited foreign companies to <a href=http://www.pta.gov.pk//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=608&Itemid=225>setup telecommunication infrastructure</a> (satellite bandwidth, optic cables, towers, radio infrastructure) for Pakistan. Licensing fee of 0.5 million USD.
