PTA Seeks Stakeholder Input on VPN Registration

Islamabad (21st November 2024): PTA hosted a stakeholder consultation on VPN registration, with key participants including the CEOs of PSEB, PASHA, and PAFLA, along with representatives from MoIT, MOFA, SBP, and PTA.

A consultation session was conducted at the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) offices to discuss the country’s VPN registration and facilitation processes.

The Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) CEO, the Pakistan Software Houses Association (Pasha) Chairman, the Pakistan Freelancers Association (PAFLA) CEO, and officials from the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoIT), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) were present at the session.

PTA’s goal in subsidizing the use of illicit VPNs is to protect the online domains and services used by software houses, BPO companies, banks, embassies, and freelancers.

Stakeholders came up with ways to make the complicated process of VPN registration easier during the feedback session. The telecom regulatory agency reaffirmed its intention to protect data and provide frictionless internet access by policing legal VPN usage in the whole country.

P@sha Requests Extension for Unregistered VPNs

In order to keep the software industry running smoothly, the PTA requested more time for VPN registration and consultation on unregistered VPNs, regardless of the Pasha’s commendation for the steps done to improve the process.
