PTA Officially Notifies ISPs for Opening-up of YouTube in Pakistan
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has officially directed Internet Service Providers to open access to YouTube in Pakistan. After YouTube announced a localized version and blocked access of blasphemous content in Pakistan, PTA today directed Pakistani ISPs to allow users access to YouTube.
With this move, a three and half year ban on YouTube has been finally lifted.
Internet Service Providers are in process of opening-up the YouTube for their users. PTCL has announced the “Unblocking of YouTube in Pakistan” on its Twitter page as following:
Last week, Google announced that it had launched localised versions in Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, paving the way for the website to be unblocked in Pakistan.
A Google spokesperson had said:
With over 1 billion monthly users worldwide, YouTube is the world’s largest online video sharing community, and is now available in 88 countries locally, as well as in 76 global languages.
