On April 18, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA)announced that it had initiated the process of licensing Virtual Private Network (VPN) service providers under the Class License for the Provision of Data Services in the country.
According to a press statement, the Authority has already issued Class Licenses to three companies for the provision of VPN services.
