What is an FLL license in Pakistan?
A Fixed Local Loop (FLL) licence is issued by PTA for providing fixed-line telecom services, voice and data, within one telecom region using a medium other than wireless, such as fibre. It's a regional licence for operators who want to build and run their own access network.
Customers are satisfied with the services.

Who this licence is for
This licence suits you if you want to build and operate a fibre or fixed-line network across a telecom region. That includes new telecom entrants, fibre-to-the-home operators, and internet service providers who are growing beyond a single district. If you already hold a Class License for Data (Internet Services) and you're planning to upgrade or renew, PTA advises moving to an FLL licence. We can help you plan that move.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Fixed Local Loop licence lets a company provide fixed-line telecom services, voice and data, within one PTA telecom region using non-wireless media such as fibre.
A private limited company registered with SECP.
One. Each FLL licence covers a single telecom region, so you apply separately for each region you want. PTA has 14 regions in Pakistan, two in AJ&K and one in Gilgit-Baltistan.
According to PTA's published guidance, applications are being accepted for all regions. We confirm current status before you commit.
Twenty years.
PTA's published fee schedule lists a USD 500 application processing fee and a USD 10,000 initial licence fee per region, payable in the equivalent amount of Pakistani rupees, plus an annual licence fee of 0.5% of annual gross revenue. Fees can change, so we confirm current figures for you.
PTA says evaluation takes roughly two to three weeks once it has received all documents. In practice the total time depends on how complete your file is, so we give you a realistic estimate after reviewing your case.
PTA advises existing Class Licensees for Data (Internet Services) to obtain an FLL licence when upgrading or renewing. We can help you weigh up what that means for your business.
Yes. Send us the letter and we'll help you understand what it asks and prepare your response.
