AFTER the Lahore High Court’s decision for reverting the new tax levied on long-distance calls from overseas, when should all overseas Pakistanis expect to have a notice coming out from the PTA to all overseas operators of long distance call providers to decrease the rates for Pakistan back to the Oct 1, 2012, level?

I and many overseas Pakistanis living in Canada salute the LHC for providing this relief to us.

I would appreciate an urgent notice be sent to all such operators so that overseas Pakistanis can take a sigh of relief.
