PTA Lifts the Ban on Porn Websites in Pakistan

siki — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:15:47 +0000

PTA – Pakistan Telecommunication Authority on 15th jan 2012 lifted the ban on all porn websites which was imposed earlier in Dec 2011 , PTCL and other associated or linked ISP’s were ordered to apply filter to huge collection of URL’s which resulted in massive bandwidth enforcements on ISP’s URL diverting and other equipments . Vast quantity of online users in Pakistan search and watch porn online , recent act by PTA clearly indicates that enforcing the freedom to browse isnt possible by custom filtering certain or huge URLS.

i think instead of implementing a enforced decision PTA / PTCl should improve parental controls options during user subscription to their service like there should be dedicated access for free browsers and dedicated for limited browsers who wish to dont have any access to porn websites , in this way there will be smooth user experience for both genres of users .

Paypal Pakistan

siki — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 01:09:24 +0000

Paypal is a global payment gateway widely used for online transactions .Over 100 million people worldwide use paypal as their desired visa credit card linked payment gateway “Paypal” , unfortunately paypal is not available in Pakistan , it was functional and working till 2004 when paypal halted its service in Pakistan after many fraud / misuse cases reported from the sellers in Pakistan .

Beside that banking system of Pakistan got some conflicts with paypal policies / terms and another major drawback is that online community / IT / Ecommerce entities like p@sha / PTA never raised a voice for enabling somehow paypal in Pakistan . Paypal is the requirement i must say basic requirement for thousands of freelancers , search engine optimizers , date entry workers , sellers based in Pakistan . i am hopeful Paypal will sooon initiate their services in Pakistan .
There are some alternatives that can be used as a payment gateways to send / receive payment in or from Pakistan , Moneybookers is a major payment gateway beside that alertpay and payoneer credit cards are widely used too .
