Authorities have agreed to allow mobile phone services between Pakistan and India though certain issues remain to be settled, a Pakistani parliamentary panel has been informed by officials.
The Standing Committee on Commerce of the National Assembly or lower house of parliament was told by officials of the Ministry of Information Technology on Thursday about the move to allow mobile phone services. The panel expressed displeasure at the lack of modern communication facilities. Commerce Secretary Munir Qureshi said the “main hitch is technical linkages between the telecom companies of India and Pakistan as they too have to get approvals from parent companies or their boards”.
