Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has decided to cancel all night packages on mobile phones as its destroying our youth
The Senate Standing Committee on Cabinet Division showed its resentment over delay in the sale of 3G licenses, misappropriation in the universal services’ funds and late-night call packages.
The committee that met at the parliament house under its chairperson Senator Kalsum Parveen on Thursday directed Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) to withdraw late-night call packages and take action against obnoxious SMS. The committee also directed the PTA to make all calls on emergency and inquiry numbers free of cost.
The Senate body observed that the national exchequer expected Rs 500 billion during the financial year 2012-13 through issuance of 3G licenses, but due to delay, the government was deprived of the said income. The committee would convene a special meeting to discuss the issues concerning the sale of 3G licenses.
