ISLAMABAD BUREAU —The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) held a meeting with licensed Long Distance International (LDI), Fixed Local Loop (FLL) and Class Value Added Services (CVAS) operators at PTA headquarters to reinforce regulatory compliance and address unauthorised internet service provision. The meeting highlighted the District Class Licence, enabling Pemra cable operators and last-mile service providers to obtain bandwidth from FLL licensees.
It was reiterated that LDI and FLL licensees may provide bandwidth, including configured packages, exclusively to PTA-licensed operators and are prohibited from supplying IP bandwidth, panel services, E1s, DPLCs or similar services to unlicensed entities or distributors. "Internet service bills/receipts must be issued by the relevant FLL or Class Licensee, as applicable," it said.
