The famous Indian firm named TATA Consultancy has thirteen centers in India - it has 12 CMM Level-5 and 1 CMM Level-4 certifications to its credit; WIPRO has three Level-5 certifications to its credit . So the 71 Indian certifications, does not indicate 71 distinct Indian companies, rather a total of distinct 31 (approx) firms share the 71 certifications. .
Consider Motorola ,for example, Motorola Australia has CMM Level-4 certification; Motorola has two centers in China and both have CMM Level-5 certifications, Motorola also has one center in India which has Level-5 certification. So the 139 high level organizations does not depict the actual number of distinct companies. .
The list does not include CMM Level-2 and 3 organizations; as the list of such companies is exhaustive. .
A sad part of the story was that: As of Feb 2002, not a single Pakistani software firm has any CMM certification. .
Fortunately things have changed since March 2002. NetSol - successfully achieved CMM Level 2 certification on 8th March, 2002. NetSol already had an ISO certification. What makes NetSol's CMM certification more commendable is that they achieved this certification during a period when the company was undergoing reduced revenues and devalued stock price. Hopefully other Pakistani software companies would follow in NetSol's footsteps.

CMM is new.
While CMM has been around for a decade. It may still be considered new to Pakistan. Remember that Pakistan is a country which has only recently recognized the importance of ISO certification; although ISO has been around for much longer than CMM. Based on this slow response of Pakistani Industry to standardization; it is only logical to expect that software industry would not be any different. Hence it won't be for another few years before the Software Industry realizes the importance of CMM.
I may have been a bit too critical of Pakistani Software Industry - strictly speaking, CMM is new not only to Pakistan, but also to many other parts of the world.
