MINUTES OF MEETING

A meeting was held between the PTA Chairman, Gen. Shahzada Alam, DG Licensing, Mr. Vohra with ISPAK delegation in the conference room of the Cyber Net, Karachi at 1600 hrs on 9th January 2002. 

ISPAK had taken up three points agenda. 

1.      Royalty should be minus the expenses on PTCL services as mentioned on early Licenses.

2.      Quality of Service that is ISPs could only provide as good service as PTCL offers. We brought to the notice that we could only improve the bandwidth ratio with the Numbers of ports with Number of Clients. However, had telephone lines or interruptions etc and many other related problems could only be solved by improving PTCL services.

3.      The Content Filtering for moral as well as for Voice Over IP was an issue, which should be left, as unfiltered as many of the Internet products have become voice interactive.

The Chairman agreed with the Royalty issue and invited us to send the older license to Islamabad, he thought there should be no problem in that case.

About the Quality of Service, his newly appointed staff agreed with us but Mr. Vohra was of the opinion that PTCL could not be corrected one such a long time therefore expecting it to change now was not right. We informed him that ISPs could do only what they can.

On the issue of Filtering the Content also the DG wanted to check up with the PTCL and only them give the ruling at Islamabad proposed meeting.
