The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has extended training and technical support to Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) for the successful implementation of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in Sri Lanka.
According to a press statement issued on Friday, Sri Lankan Regulator has planned to introduce MNP for mobile users in their country and intends to follow processes adopted by PTA. MNP is a service through which a cell phone user can change his network without changing the number. Pakistan was the first country in South Asia to introduce this facility for its mobile users in 2007. The PTA has conducted workshops on MNP and held consultations with TRCSL representatives regarding best practices and related issues. TRCSL has acknowledged PTA’s support in replicating the MNP model in Sri Lanka. The PTA said that it appreciates the acknowledgement which is reflective of deep cooperation between the two regulators.
Beware of cybercrimes through messages - ITSSL Daily News (via HT Media Ltd.)
While the Covid-19 is spreading throughout the country as the third wave, internet users are warned to be vigilant of cyber related crimes, Information Technology Society of Sri Lanka (ITSSL) said.
The ITSSL said the Telecommunication Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) also has taken action to educate the public on such crimes taking place these days.
Most of the crimes have taken place through messages sent to internet users saying that some commodities with high demand are given free as gifts.
The ITSSL requests users to use unpredictable passwords for their social media and e-mail accounts, to activate the two-factor authentication, not to provide credit and debit card details for unsecured websites and not to follow directions given through such unknown messages for free gifts in order to prevent their accounts being hacked or disclosed to a third party.
