The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has resumed granting Class Licenses for Data Services in Pakistan to boost digital security. VPN service providers are now required to obtain the Class License for Data Services to offer VPN services across Pakistan.
This landmark move by PTA reflects its unwavering commitment to promoting a secure and innovative digital framework, ensuring the protection of stakeholders. The PTA aims to efficiently regulate the market and foster the legal use of data services while enhancing cybersecurity measures.
Additionally, this progressive initiative addresses the ongoing issues surrounding the unregulated use of VPNs, aiming to improve cybersecurity and create a more secure digital environment.
The license framework has been designed to encourage both new entrants and existing players to adopt best practices that align with global standards. This approach ultimately strengthens digital service delivery across the country.
It is a crucial step toward creating an enabling environment for technological advancements, attracting investment to the vast untapped potential within Pakistan's digital sector.
PTA highlighted that this progressive initiative is part of its broader vision to support a “Digital Pakistan” by facilitating innovative campaigns. PTA aims to ensure that both consumers and businesses benefit from its secure data services.
