Chairman of the Pakistan Software Houses Association (Pasha), Sajjad Syed, has stated that the issue of slow internet speeds is likely to be resolved within three months.
In a statement, Chairman Sajjad Syed explained that if a WhatsApp message is going through but images are not being sent, it indicates that monitoring is ongoing. He added that monitoring or firewall installation is common in every country, but perhaps there is some flaw in the process. For example, in the U.S., security personnel arrive at the house within 10 minutes if inappropriate content is shared.
He further stated that there are no issues with fixed-line internet; full-time IT workers do not face problems, but part-time IT workers are experiencing difficulties due to the lack of fixed-line connections.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Software Export Board has rejected claims that internet speed issues are causing IT companies to leave Pakistan.
