Mobilink develops content-filtering solution to reinstate BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS)

Karachi: Mobilink has developed and implemented an innovative content-filtering solution to reinstate internet services for the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS).

The initiative by Mobilink allows subscribers to fully access the internet, including social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, using their mobile devices.

Omar Manzur, Director PR & CSR, highlighted, “Customer satisfaction is an essential driver at Mobilink, and this content filtering solution is our initiative to restore full functionality of internet services for our valued customers, while maintaining PTA regulations.”

Mobilink pioneered the provision of BlackBerry services in Pakistan in 2005. The service had been partially blocked in 2010 following directives from the PTA to block social networking sites and other websites that contained blasphemous content.
