ISLAMABAD:

A delegation of the Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA) visited the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) headquarters on Friday to deliberate on facilitating a smooth and congenial business environment for IT companies and software houses.

PTA Chairman Major General (Retired) Hafeezur Rehman, while welcoming the delegation, said that the PTA was proactively working on improving the ease of doing business in the information technology sector.

"PTA is cognizant that uninterrupted access is fundamental for efficient working of the IT industry and is ensuring that IT exporters stay connected and safe while delivering their services and products internationally," a statement quoted the PTA chairman as saying.

In this regard, IP addresses for Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are being registered for businesses of software houses and IT companies. VPN registration is a one-window facility available at the PTA and Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) website, which takes two to three days and is free of cost.

The delegation appreciated the PTA's cooperation in facilitating the software houses. They were satisfied that internet speeds had been normalised and the industry was back on track.
