Dear Saad,
 
Having observed you aggressive approach towards tackling problems I would suggest that why dont you divert your energy in proposing to the Ministry and the Minister something to ISPAK in terms of building,office spaces in different cities, cyber cafes etc in the form of funds out of the massive allocations made for IT in 2000 ( Rs 5 billion) and in 2001 (Rs 3.5 billion) Nearly 80 percent of the budget has been taken by COMSATS a govt based organization..we could do the same why not we ? This is the time to get some concrete projects launched on the platform of ISPAK for the future..royalty or no royalty debate can go on and on....
 
Regards

Dear Bhutta Sb AoA,
 
The word may and wish are quite deep in nature , what about if PTA does not agree with our wish and takes penalty action despite of the fact we have paid Royalty as per our wishes ?
 
PTA has not issues any circular yet and at the moment its previous order / notice stands valid and there is not deduction allowed in that notice . So what is the status of your or our wishes ?
 
 
Royalty is illegal so either we pay 1.5 % or even less , it stands illegal . Unfortunately we are not taking the advantage of such a conducive enjoinment and Minister . Who has great wishes to promote I.T and Internet industry , though I can see his is also helpless in many regards due to typical problems of this country like in-competent officials and persons around him (Most of them ).
 
                  Still Minister Sb offered ISPAK and very healthy and positive offer " Seeking a legal opinion from some reputed firm / lawyer . Unfortunately ISPAK failed to get any benefit from that offer due to lack of information , knowledge and proper home work. We should have consulted a lawyer of excellent repute long ago. Funds was not a problem at all . There are so many big players in the industry and ofcourse a few are "Jehadi " .
 
 
              Any way now we have taken this issue in a proper way and I hope by the help of Allah and all other friends we will succeed in out objectives .
 
 
Your past correspondence in which you have Cleary called Royalty illegal has been a great help for us in preparing this case . I personally thank Mr.Ahmad Nadeem Syed , his efforts and great work done against the Royalty also helped us a lot . We started the case from where ISPAK left it .
 
 
Wish you all the best .
 
Regards
 
Saad Saleem

Dear Alls,
 
Assalamu Alaikum,
 
To help you in  calculating  royalty " "Illustration of Royalty computation " has been prepared by Mr.Abdul Wahid Batavia Cyber.net and approved by Mr. Muhammad Khubaib of Super.net is being mail for you.
 
Principally we agreed that there will be no royalty on royalty. If you desire to deduct from turn-over / gross revenue  the charges paid to other operators may deduct at your risk if accepted then ok other wise royalty on that amount you have to pay.
 

Wish you all the best.
