Chairman Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) Dr Mohammed Yaseen Sunday claimed that Pakistani cellular phone companies were providing cheapest call rates across the globe. “In a recent conference in India, the Indians claimed that they were providing cheapest calls world over.
However, I confronted and made calculations to prove that Pakistan was the country providing the most inexpensive phone facility to its consumers,” said Chairman PTA Dr Mohammed Yaseen in an exclusive interview with APP. When his comments were sought over the spill over of Pakistani cellular phone signals to the neighbouring countries, Chairman said PTA had conducted comprehensive surveys to ensure that there was no spill over from either side.
“The cell phone towers are installed in the bordering areas under a prescribes Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). We are ensuring that the SOP is strictly followed. Moreover, we have held negotiations with the neighbouring countries including Afghanistan and India to address the issue,” he added.
