The registration process, which is free of charge, is expected to be completed within two to three days following the verification of the internet service provider. However, for users requiring more than five IP addresses, an IP whitelisting fee will apply.
Additionally, servers located abroad but catering to users within Pakistan are also required to be registered under this program.
The PTA aims to streamline internet usage while ensuring compliance with national regulations and protecting users from potential cybersecurity threats.
The PTA chairman claimed that the PTA cannot handle the Internet.
“By the end of October, the problem of slow internet will be over,” PTA chairman.
