In the current scenario of a country where foreign direct investment is playing a vital role to boost the economy.

This statement by the government is a game changer and relief for the telecom industry of Pakistan. PTA also enforced that all procedures related to licence renewal must be handled in a timely manner. So, consumers and mobile operators don’t face any issue.
