In a landmark achievement, Pakistan has installed the pilot 4G mobile tower at the base camp of the world’s second-largest peak K2. This is a milestone achievement and must be lauded as internet connectivity can greatly facilitate any mountaineer who tends to visit K2 base camp. Previously, the mountaineers used satellite phones to stay connected with the base camp while a number of mountaineers had to face difficulties in communication, and a few succumbed to death due to severe weather conditions at the world’s second-highest summit.
