The idea to register all SIMs against CNIC cards and deactivate all others to was originally proposed in a 2012 opinion piece on ProPakistani.

Our 2016 report on the low quality of fuel in Pakistan spurred the government to urgently resolve the matter, ending up in the introduction of RON92 and higher fuel in Pakistan.

Our 2015 report was the catalyst for the PTA to address the issues of poor revenues, high taxation and regulatory hurdles in the telecom sector. we highlighted. PTA now plans on setting a price floor and has already obtained powers to regulate laws deemed anti-competitive.
