ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court on Monday directed the government to appoint chairman and other members of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) within 15 days.
Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary ordered that the appointments at PTA should be made before proceeding with the 3G licence auction.
During hearing of the case the chief justice observed that there was no existence of an organization that could control grey traffic worth billions.
A member of the bench Justice Jawwad S Khawaja questioned the government's intention of having a regulatory authority for cellular companies in Pakistan.
A growth in broadband penetration is expected to lead 1.3% growth in the gross domestic product (GDP) of Pakistan.
