ISLAMABAD: All emails, telephone calls and other communications with
the rest of the world will begin to be monitored within 90 days at a
cost of million of dollars, according to a deadline given by the
government to operators including PTCL. The government has assigned
PTCL and other operators to install monitoring equipment by the end of
this year for checking voice and email communications from abroad and
the services of the country's spy agency will be used basically to
check and curb blasphemous and obscene websites on the Internet. "The
regulator, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), has
assigned 14 LDIs, including PTCL, to install this monitoring
equipment," senior executive vice president of the Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) Sikandar Naqi toldThe News on
Thursday.
