What is a VTS license in Pakistan?

A VTS license is the PTA Class License for Data (Vehicle Tracking Services). It's a type of Class Value Added Services (CVAS) licence, and it lets a company provide vehicle tracking as a service to customers. PTA is currently receiving and processing VTS applications, even though most other CVAS data and voice licences are suspended.
