The Federal Minister for IT apprised the Deputy Speaker about the on-going projects to provide broadband services in the un-served and under-served areas of the country and the steps taken for the promotion of the IT and Telecom industry in the last 5 years. Syed Amin Ul Haque said that the Telecom Sector is facing some problems due to the restriction on LCs, while the ongoing projects of broadband services are also getting delayed.
He informed the Deputy Speaker National Assembly that the confidence of the IT industry is being restored due to Prime Minister’s special interest in taxation and other matters related to the industry.
