ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Pakistan ke telecom regulator ne internet companies se kaha hai ke woh bandwidth sirf apne licence yafta operators ko farokht kar sakti hain, kyunke idara baghair ijazat chalne wali internet services ke khilaf harkat mein aa raha hai.
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority ne Jumeraat ko Islamabad mein apne headquarters mein Long Distance International (LDI), Fixed Local Loop (FLL) aur Class Value Added Services operators ke saath ek ijlas mein yeh qawaid wazeh kiye. Ijlas ki sadarat authority ke member compliance and enforcement Dr Khawar Saddique Khokhar ne ki.
Qawaid ke tehat LDI aur FLL licence yafta companies configured packages samet bandwidth sirf un operators ko faraham kar sakti hain jin ke paas PTA ka durust licence ho. Authority ke mutabiq woh ghair licence yafta idaron ya distributors ko IP bandwidth, panel services, E1, DPLC ya isi tarah ki services faraham nahin kar saktin.
Internet Services Class Licence rakhne wali companies sirf barah-e-raast sarifeen ko service de sakti hain aur dobara farokht ke liye wholesale bandwidth nahin bech saktin. PEMRA se licence yafta cable operators aur deegar last-mile service faraham karne wale District Class Licence ke tehat FLL licence yafta companies se bandwidth hasil kar sakte hain.
Bill kaun bhejta hai
Authority ne kaha ke "internet service ke bill ya raseedein mutaliqa FLL ya Class licence yafta idara hi jari karega." Is tarah har connection ki billing kisi ghair registered reseller ke bajaye licence yafta operator ke paas rehti hai.
Authority ne kisi saza ya deadline ka elan nahin kiya. Is ke mutabiq ijlas mein shareek operators ne licensing ki sharait se aagahi phailane aur baghair ijazat internet services rokne ki koshishon mein taawun ka azm zahir kiya.
Isi hafte ke aaghaz mein PTA ke ek survey mein samne aaya ke 28 mein se 12 maqami broadband networks us ke kam az kam ek mayar par poora nahin utre.
