The effective crackdown on illegal internet service providers can be credited to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority’s resolute dedication, ongoing surveillance, and relentless endeavors to suppress illicit internet services. These measures are essential for preventing tax evasion and the misreporting of revenue, hence reducing financial losses to the national treasury.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) strongly advises the public to exclusively utilize telecom services provided by licensed operators authorized by the PTA to prevent any unforeseen interruption in service.
