PTA Eases Registration Requirements for Freelancer VPNs to Boost IT Sector

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has made a significant move to boost the country's IT sector by allowing individuals without static IP addresses to register virtual private networks (VPNs) using their mobile numbers. This change in policy aims to facilitate secure and legitimate operations for freelancers, marking a departure from the authority's earlier stance towards encryption and the internet.

Registering a VPN under the new system requires freelancers to provide their computerized national identity card (CNIC), company registration details, and taxpayer status. This clarification, following the government's ruling that VPNs will not be banned due to lack of authority under the Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016, comes as a relief to the IT sector. Over 31,000 VPNs are reportedly already registered with the PTA through the new system, providing a legible shelter for freelancers.

The Internet speed issues persistently affecting many parts of the country have impacted various aspects, including successful downloads, image and video access on social media apps, and smooth browsing of websites - causing concern across the nation.
