you don't have DTH services in Pakistan ? How do you get your TV then, purani cable and set top boxes ? :o
Crackdown on content I agree. Loads of crap being bombarded on us but somebody tell these morons tha ott platforms don't run or show channels.According to Khalid Arain, Chairman of the Cable Operators Association of Pakistan, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) is reportedly planning to initiate a crackdown on over-the-top (OTT) platforms like Netflix following the Eidul Azha holiday.
Arain stated that a productive discussion had occurred between cable operators and senior Pemra officials, during which the concerns of the cable operators were conveyed.
He said:
In his statement, he was alluding to the OTT platform, which provides streaming content over the internet.
Arain further emphasized the cable operators’ request for regulatory measures regarding those operators who provide both internet and cable services.
He announced that the regulatory body has responded positively to the cable operators’ demands. A committee within Pemra will be established to address the issue of granting licenses to cable operators and will initiate a crackdown on OTT platforms following the conclusion of Eidul Azha.
Arain advocated for a tax exemption in the cable sector, drawing a parallel to the solar power industry and suggesting that taxes on cable operators should be eased. However, he did not provide a specific explanation or justification for this request.
Furthermore, he highlighted an inequity where the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) collects Local Loop license fees from cable operators in US dollars, while subscribers make payments to cable operators in the local currency.
Arain deemed this situation unfair, citing the existing rupee-dollar exchange rate as a factor.

More than the LGBTQ content, it's the pajeet content that annoys the shit out of me on Netflix and Amazon.I find this useful in 1 way only. I see too much LGBTQ narrative in Netflix and many of my students watch those shows although I insist them to watch good documentaries on Netflix that are useful and give knowledge. Netflix has negative impact more than positive. Nowadays each TV series has LGBTQ narrative.
I don't mean disrespect to anyone's opinion but Pakistan is not yet open about this discussion so seeing so many shows like these gives negative impact.

These cable operators in Pakistan are literally fat disgusting 55 year old men.
They are the reason why DTH isn't being allowed in Pakistan. Imagine preventing advancement because you're too stupid to understand.

Calm down Mullah sb. Throwing rang is just a celebration. A few months later same people beheaded and devoured the cow god..Would never imagine that Pajeet holidays would get embraced. Turns out 2 nation theory was wrong.
Don't worry saar Pakistani school kids are the most vilely homophobic in the world despite growing up with LGTV propaganda.I find this useful in 1 way only. I see too much LGBTQ narrative in Netflix and many of my students watch those shows although I insist them to watch good documentaries on Netflix that are useful and give knowledge. Netflix has negative impact more than positive. Nowadays each TV series has LGBTQ narrative.
