The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has been asked to make sure that there is enough time for registration and consultation on unregistered virtual private networks (VPNs) in order to prevent any disruptions in light of the impending November 30 registration deadline.
The Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA) made the suggestion during a consultation session held at the regulatory body’s headquarters, according to a press release released by the PTA on Thursday.
The chief executive officer (CEO) of the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), the chairman of the Pakistan Freelancers Association (PAFLA), representatives from the Ministry of IT and Telecom (MoIT), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), and the chairman of P@SHA were among the other stakeholders who attended the huddle.
The decision to restrict use by the current government is the backdrop for the session.
