  "account": "The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has introduced plans to expedite the processing of complete applications for radio-based service licences, setting a 15-working-day deadline under its Draft Radio-Based Services (RBS) Regulations, 2026. This new regulation aims to provide clearer timelines for license applicants and instill greater confidence in organizations seeking authorization to operate various radio communication services. However, the timeline will only be applicable to applications that are fully compliant with the stipulated documentation and regulatory prerequisites. The draft regulations encompass a range of radio-based services, such as Land Mobile Private Networks (LMPN) operating on very high frequency (VHF) and microwave links, Mobile Satellite Applications (MSA), Mobile Satellite Services (MSS), and amateur radio. These services facilitate communication across diverse sectors and fall under the PTA's regulatory jurisdiction. The authority has also opened a consultation period for licensees and other relevant entities to provide feedback on the proposed regulations. Stakeholders are requested to utilize a specific proforma to pinpoint particular provisions, suggest modifications, and elaborate on the rationale behind their recommendations. This feedback will enable stakeholders to voice their opinions on the proposed licensing framework prior to its finalization.",
