789 SIMs Activation System Suspended
12/02/2012 05:56:00 pm
SIM activation system 789 has been suspended on the directive of PTA due to which thousands of sims could not be activated.
Customers who bought SIMs from outlets and franchises in past 2 days failed to get their SIMs activated due to suspension of 789 SIMs activation system.
On calling 789, customers found the following recorded message:
Our company has been ordered by PTA to suspend SIM Activation System 789 to stop SIMs sale at customer care centres, franchises and retail shops as per directives of Ministry of Interior, which earlier proposed a new system of SIMs sale to the residents of customers.
Despite the orders given by Prime Minister to continue SIMs selling via initial system 789 with NADRA confirmation, the companies have not obtained the directive so far, thus the selling of SIMs has been ceased.
"We have been awaiting the alert of PTA using the directives of the pm" said by an official.
FBR Devising Strategy to tax Google
12/01/2012 07:14:00 am
FBR(Federal Board of Revenue), which is responsible for taxing big and small businesses & individuals has decided to tax Google's income from Pakistan.
Authorities at FBR are trying to devise a strategy to tax adsense payments. Until now it is still not clear if the advertisers or Google itself will come under tax net or not?
The main target will be publishers. For years webmasters are earning a fair amount of money from Google Adsense without paying any taxes but not so long because it is just a matter of fact when FBR will devise the exact strategy to tax those individuals.
According to our sources, not all publishers will come under tax net. Only those publishers earning high volumes or fair amount of money will be affected more.
The default payment method of Google Adsense is Western Union for individual publishers and Cheque for businesses. So FBR will have to find a way to tax the publishers on these payment methods.
All Adsense payments can be taxed

PTA Bans Night Call Packages
11/22/2012 08:43:00 am
PTA(Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) has ordered all mobile phone companies to immediately shut down all late night call packages.
According to PTA Chairman Farooq Awan these night call packages are immoral and are promoting vulgarity. Also a huge number of complaints from Supreme court, Parliment members and standing comitte or Parliment have been recieved.
The PTA says it recognises that liberalisation and tough competition in the cellular mobile market have pushed operators to introduce various promotional packages to subscribers. However, the PTA insists that as long as practices “against social norms” are not encouraged, the operators are free to continue providing better quality of services to their subscribers at affordable prices.
Protection of consumer interests is specified under Section 18 (1) of the act and the PTA is required to submit yearly reports on the same to the federal government. At the same time, under Section 6 (a) of the act, the authority is also bound to protect the rights of licensees.
