Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has published an announcement in all major dailies in the country asking uses to 'register their VPNs' with them before 30th June 2020.

Short on details and tons of questions, the industry in particular and individual Internet users, in general, are confused as to what does this announcement mean.

PTA points the questions back to the ISPs which in turn are so far clueless and point the users back to PTA.

VPNs come in all shapes and sizes and are literally the basic building block of Internet commerce and personal privacy on a shared global network.

From large sum financial accounts settling between major backs to your kid's email to her grandma, everything needs a permanent or dynamic (built-on-the-fly) VPN.

Except for site-to-site VPNs built permanently by corporate entities, the IP address details are not fixed or even known. Sharing them with PTA on paper forms or via email is absurd to begin with. Sharing of such IP addresses might also be in violation of earlier NDA done with foreign business partners.

Regardless of all these issues, the authority seems to be moving forward with the deadline of 30th June 2020 after which these VPNs would be illegal as per the law of the land and if enforced, will wreak havoc with the stability of the Internet.

Efforts towards a much-touted 'Digital Pakistan' might as well rest in peace.

Not all APIs are created equal. If your business is already exposing it's services via APIs, make sure you do your APIs right. REST APIs and REST-like APIs are not the same.

The key difference is that REST APIs implement Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State (HATEOAS) that lets the consumers of the API navigate the API independently.

If you are thinking to take the API route, talk to NxN Pakistan to get your digitization efforts started on the right footing from day 1.

COVID has brought challenges to every walk of our pre-COVID life. We can either react or respond - to use the ever-green terms introduced by Steven R Covey.

The digitization that was facing resistance from habits and norms has suddenly been put right in the center and middle of our lives. From relationships to learning to collaboration and transacting finances, everything has gone digital in one sweeping move not just in the first world but around the globe.

Now is the chance for us as business leaders to take a hard look at all our traditional practices again. We need to remove the inefficient ways that we had always acknowledged but were not forced to denounce and do away with.

A new all-digital and all-secure is the way forward for the small and medium businesses. The efficiencies that this will bring in would help for now during the COVID crisis but once this is over in a year or two, these efficiencies should stick as part of our business and life.

Let's make use of adversity. Let's go really digital.
