Thanks for the great effort you have made. It will benefit the industry as a whole and your perseverance and commitment has given us another chance to regroup and have a open discussion on this issue and then go to PTA with a single united stand.
Considering that PTA had made some very positive commitments when they last had a meeting with ISPAK in Karachi and now with this court order in our favor if we can all get together sometime soon we can work out some good strategy which is fair to both the industry and the regulator.
Regards
Azfar

Mr. Saad Saleem is right and all inputs should be considered before taking a final course of action. Mr. Ansar is also right in pointing out the cost of regulation and even I remember PTA's management mentioning something about cost of regulation in one of the meetings.
Many congratulations and thanks to all of you who made the initiative, but we must be very careful on how we should proceed.

- Dear Imran,
- Thanks for your email. This is all taht Highcourt could do as a first step to give an stay order and not decision. This was already decided in the meeting with Chairman PTA in Karachi that they would revise all the licences and clauses. Cost of regulation could be more than 4% of the gross revenue as already mentioned in Saads email dated 9-FEB-2001 addressed to Minister at MoST. Who would be debating / contradicting the Ligitimate cost of regulation. A LAB / Surrvilance / monitoring system nation wide could cost couple of million dollors, massive foregin trainings / trips etc. would also be cost of regulations.
- I suggest not to open the dialogue for the the "cost of regulation" this could lead us to a more expensive solution.
- Best Regards

- Dear All,
- Good News , (Allah Akbar )
- High Court has given decision on our Writ Petition granting stay order and directed PTA to decide the submitted reference within 30 days . The stance of PTA in the court was very positive and they have shown their willingness to work with us in order to resolve the issue with mutual consent of ISP'S .
- Soon we are going to host a meeting in Islamabad and I would like that we should form a team which will negotiate with PTA .
- Best Regards
