“Chairman PTA Dr. Mohammed Yaseen said that these illegal operations of grey traffic has caused loss of millions of rupees in the last four month to the national exchequer”
Awww! whats a few million for the “National Exchequer”. The pres. and PM each can alone consume those for a little chai and aloo chhola.
Its the commercial companies who want the easy juice coming in while it can, with the paid help of PTA and whoever matters.
More power to the “helpful” gateways, because thats the only way the lesson will be learned and Voip will become legal.
Ma’as Salaam.
How you detect the gray network ?
Internet protocol Traffic on Gateway (Voice Traffic)
Sim card Signals
Human Intelligence
How can we help you to track and locate them in Lahore city?
Salman taseer, MQM, Rehman Malik and Our PM already working on it why you not take action against them.
Many Grays pay huge kickback to FIA and PTA and running that business why you not take action.
Because there is thousands of networks running in Pakistan under Govt. people umbrella.
No Way Justice for all otherwise nothing could be done!!!
Thanks
If PTA allowed VOIP services in Pakistan. I would be paying some Pakistani for a virtual phone line instead of some company in NA to provide me per minute service. It will be a cheaper customer as well as more money coming in to Pakistan from overseas.
