There might be a conflict of interest if I were to update the article.

Most people do not know the other ISPs as those ISPs do not advertise
the services they are selling. A company can get an ISP license by
sending an application to the ICTA and paying Rs 50,000. In my
opinion, an ISP cannot refuse to provide internet access to a person
who is not its employee as the license is to sell internet access to
the public.
