exchanges in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad |
| RECORDER REPORT |
.......ISLAMABAD : The Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited has installed three Internet
exchanges at Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad to promote information
technology, said a press release.
.......These exchanges are fully equipped with
modern facilities and have the potential to retain the local traffic
within the country. Furthermore, the exchanges have also the
capability of providing Web hosting and DNS services facilities,
which can be availed of by the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for
hosting their websites in the country.
.......This initiative on the part of PTCL will
also help save foreign exchange. ISPs, which are utilising bandwidth
other than Internet exchange, can also be provided with local
peering facilities.
.......PTCL has
built international connectivity through multiple backbones to link
the outside world, which will make the network less dependent in
case of failure and reliable communication to users.
