STAFF REPORT ISLAMABAD: The Internet Service Providers Association of Pakistan has accused the PTCL of resorting to illegal use of frequency.
In a letter written to Frequency Allocation Board, ISPAK has said that
“PTCL is illegally using extra frequency for its 9.3 Mbps wireless Internet service called Nitro,” says a letter ISPAK has recently written to the Frequency Allocation Board.
The letter noted that PTCL was allocated frequency band of 1975-1980 MHz and 1895-1900 MHz for use of its CDMA/WLL services. However, the company is now using 1975-1981.875 and 1895-1901.875 MHz thus occupying extra 3.75 MHz of band not originally allocated to them.
The ISPAK has urged FAB to charge PTCL pro-rated charges for this extra usage and serious action for the violation.
It is to be noted here that frequency of 3.75 MHz for major cities of Pakistan is worth millions of dollars, meaning that PTCL is possibly causing millions of loss to PTA, FAB and the government if company is proven guilty.
A query has been sent to the PTCL in this connection, however, its response is yet to come.
