Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has decided to allow freelancers who are without static IP address to get registered for virtual private networks (VPN) through their mobile numbers, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday.
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority introduced simplified measures for registration of VPN for promotion of IT sector.
