THE time has changed and having cell phone is no more a luxury. Today, the mobile phone has marked its place in the list of basic commodities. No matter which class you belong to
or which age group your are from, you can find one for yourself in the market with a very nominal price. At present, majority of the population living in big cities is enjoying landline facility; all these factors are an obvious indicator of telecom growth in the country. The last few years have witnessed a tremendous development in telecom sector as the overall teledensity of the country has reached 61.8%. With such a boom in the growth of telecom subscribers, it becomes a challenge for telecom operators as well as the Regulator to assure the provision of quality services to such a huge consumer base and satisfy their needs. Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), as Regulator of the sector, guarantees the protection of telecom consumers’ rights by setting strict quality measures for the operators. PTA is making every effort to facilitate the consumers and its recent initiatives are evident to this claim.
Realizing consumers’ interests and their rights, PTA had formed a Consumer Complaint Cell to handle their complaints. Initially this Cell was working in a limited capacity. The escalating consumer base had put the number of complaints on rise and due to the introduction of new services by operators the nature of consumer complaints has also got diversified. The previous complaint handling mechanism was not effective enough to tackle with such situation. There was an acute need for a new enhanced complaint handling system. The Authority, after analyzing the situation, revamped its Complaint Cell into a dedicated Consumer Protection Directorate (CPD). CPD comprises of a Complaint Cell which can easily be accessed by consumers through a number of channels including Toll Free Number, telephone, fax, e-mail, PTA’s website, post mail and through person visitation. Furthermore, consumers can also access PTA’s Zonal offices at provincial capitals for early redressal of their complaints. Till now more than 80,000 individual consumer complaints have been received and redressed by PTA.
PTA endeavor on consumer rights does not end here. PTA by joining hands with telecom operators and other stakeholders continued its efforts to protect the rights of telecom consumers. For this purpose it initiated process for formulation of regulations to safeguard telecom consumers. After an extensive consultation on different forums the final outcome was presented in the form of “Consumer Protection Regulations, 2009” in March 2009. Under these regulations, the telecom operators are required to setup a comprehensive mechanism for the rederessal of consumers’ grievances.
What do these Regulations say regarding Service Provision, Interruption and Disconnection It does improve the confidence level of a consumer on the services of its concerned operator when the operator does inform him/her about any sort of interruption in the service, prior to its occurrence, caused due to any reason like, service enhancement or modification etc. Under the Consumer Protection Regulations 2009 the operators shall keep the consumer informed on any kind of interruption in their service. Where as in case of unpredicted technical interruption/faults the Regulations states that the operator shall inform the consumer by any possible source like the SMS and Calls etc. This point has been included in the regulation in view of the consumer’s right to know about why the quality of service has not been maintained.
The Operator can not withdraw any services to the consumer, without the approval of the Authority and it shall give thirty (30) days prior notice to the consumer in this regard. In such cases the operator will clearly communicate the reasons for suspension or disconnection of services to the consumer. The point of thirty (30) days prior notice provides an opportunity to the consumer to take necessary measures to avoid any sort of communication problem in form of service suspension or disconnection. Furthermore under the regulations the operators have been barred from suspending or disconnecting a service to a consumer for which the consumer has paid all the dues, even if the consumer has not done the payment to the operator in relation to some other services. But the operator can suspend or disconnect all connections for individual services to a consumer, which are subscribed by that consumer in his/her own name and the default is not cleared for any one of such connections.
Another significant and highly appreciable clause in the regulations is about the access to the emergency numbers. The Consumer Protection Regulations requires that the operator shall not deny access to emergency numbers to a consumer, even if the service is suspended for any valid reason. With the application of this regulation by the operators the consumer can easily contact the cops or ambulance in case of emergency situation, without any fear that the call will not be connected due to non payment or any other reason.

Sex sites are blocked outright while other topics that are less dicey, such as "drugs," "beer" or "pork" are restricted but not as tightly.
On the site, sex-related terms such as gay and lesbian or ‘sexy’ merit a haram level of three, the highest score on the list.
It is a first kind of search engine which is designed for muslim not only for muslim but for the people also who are tired of explicit material while surfing on net.
Reza Sardeha, founder of AZS Media Group, which runs the search engine, was quoted by the paper as saying that the idea grew after his friends complained of bumping into sexually explicit content when using search engines such as Yahoo or Google. The site’s filter examines the user’s search terms and the websites that are returned, trawling for a ‘non-halal list’ of words that may indicate forbidden fruit. On the site, sex-related terms such as gay and lesbian or ‘sexy’ merit a haram level of three, the highest score on the list.
