Compliment chair regulatory authority for the onus to QOS which is the faith of two third the population of Pakistan being the mobile phone subscriber, relying, trust and faith in the regulator to the delivery of the service. As the QOS necessiates support for the new generation of handsets and network support which will not be complete if the regulator do not have in stock the Nemo Outdoor 7.3.1 which is the ideal tool to evaluate the 4G/LTE. The stake holder i.e., the Mobile Operators are service providers based on the provisioning of QOS offered by the PTA to visitors in Pakistan as the country can possibly the best opportunities for doing business and investment, tourism in Pakistan. This would necessiate Nemo Outdoor 7.3.1 With the QOS offered to service providers, and broadband users, the issues of privacy are also important to the consumer about the safety, security, of the privacy. Would there be any statement from the authority on this, and the transparency of the monitoring of the phone, and broadband from the Governmental authorities, and the Chinese companies which had bad names in major matured markets in the world. The prevention of crime, cyber crime, by the enforcement agencies regulatory authority, and other agency should be known to the public which would like to transact e-Commerce, funds transfer, and the resulting tax which Government will earn by electronic tax deduction of Federal, and Provincial taxes which would help Pakistan bail out of IMF with this step only, which is successfully used in the EU member administrations. Is there any initiative to stop street crimes by mobile Broadband.
