Expert proposes task force to address telecom issues
Use of illegal signal boosters has led to distortion in spectrum
KARACHI:
The distortion in spectrum has become a serious issue for the telecom industry because of the increasing use of illegal signal boosters.
Experts have proposed the setting up of a task force, like in the UK, to monitor and address the wireless interface issues so that the public and telecom industry can cope with the problems caused by the illegal devices.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, ICT consultant Parvez Iftikhar said, “In every country, it is the responsibility of the telecom regulator to safeguard the interest of customers and cellular operators alike by ensuring an interference-free spectrum.”
