Google Launches YouTube Partner Program in Pakistan. The first ever event is taking place in Karachi as we write this post.

Things are changing for YouTube very quickly after the premier content platform was banned in Pakistan in late 2012 following a protest over an anti-Islamic video. Earlier this January, the ban was eventually lifted.
