Mobilink Hearing at PTA
JANG, KARACHI: Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) - the telecom watchdog in the country - on Tuesday issued a hearing notice to Mobilink, which would be conducted on June 9.

Sources close to telecom regulator told ‘The News’ that in its reply to PTA, Mobilink said its service was affected due to the problems arising in the system of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), however, the telecom watchdog has rejected this justification of the said company.

The Authority has described the reply submitted by Mobilink in response of April 2005 show cause notice as unsatisfactory. In the Hearing Notice PTA has also directed him to appear on the fixed date and time with a copy of written arguments for the Authority.

It may be recalled that the telecom watchdog had issued show cause notice in April 2005 to initiate proceedings against Mobilink, based on the results of the fourth Quality of Service (QoS) survey conducted by the Authority.

PTA gave 30 days to the operator to submit the reply and Mobilink had submitted its detailed reply on May 03, 2005.
