During the operation, an operational internet setup was discovered, being operated without valid license. As a result, three individuals were apprehended, and equipment including 1 server, 1 router, and 30 Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) were seized. The premises have been sealed, and FIA is probing further enquiry as per law.

The achievement in combating illegal internet service providers can be attributed to PTA’s steadfast commitment, constant vigilance, and persistent endeavors to illegal internet services.

These actions play a pivotal role in curbing tax evasion and revenue misreporting, thus curtailing loss to the national treasury.

PTA advises the public to only avail telecommunication services from PTA-licensed operators to avoid any sudden disruption of services. List of licensed operators is available at: https://pta.gov.pk/en/industry-support/home/list-of-operators

Hello! My name is Farhan Abro, and I'm based here in Islamabad. My journey in Pakistan's digital media really kicked off when I founded INCPak back in 2012. We built it from the ground up, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, to be a trusted voice for independent journalism. But while media is a big part of who I am, I'm also shaped by a fascinating mix of other passions. I'm deeply into automotive, which gives me a technical edge, but I also find my artistic expression through landscape photography and music. And I'm always diving into the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence. Bringing all these different worlds together the technical, the creative, the journalistic, and the entrepreneurial—it really colors how I see things and approach every project. It gives me a distinct perspective that I try to bring to everything I share

  1. PTA seems to be getting extra efficient and quick responding in sealing a business wherein their fees was in danger. I remember asking PTA official to track the illegal and fraudulent network wherein money of ordinary public is defrauded through Benazir Income Support program and like ones. They were quick enough to respond that they are not mandated to track them. Certainly defrauding people through mobile network does not concern PTA as it does not bring PTA the money but certainly concern the simple and ordinary public. Here comes the priority, top priority PTA money and least priority the money of ordinary public.
