A decision on the renewal of the LDI (Long Distance and International) license is likely to be made after Eid.
The Secretary of IT informed the Senate Standing Committee that LDI cases have been referred back to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) by the Sindh High Court.
PTA Chairman mentioned that show cause notices were issued to seven LDI operators and hearings for license renewal have been completed. The final decision is expected in the next few weeks.
The PTA aims to recover the disputed amount from operators and will either grant an extension to LDI companies or finalize the decision as recommended by the National Assembly Standing Committee.
