PTA Orders all ISPs to implement URL filtering within Three Months

In a meeting at PTA today, which I attended as well, it was decided that all Service Providers would implement URL filtering solution individually. PTCL representative told the Member PTA that PTCL would bring the URL filtering service in production within a three month time period. TWA1 already has this ability.

The smaller Internet Service Providers would also have to implement the URL filtering solution since PTA doesn't want any finger-pointing at itself in case a URL is blocked.

Also, PTA has decided that in the future it will not issue orders for blocking an IP address. It will only order to block a specific URL.
