Скачать или смотреть P@SHA Chairman Zohaib Khan on Dawn News | Internet Disruption in Pakistan | May 2023

P@SHA Chairman Zohaib Khan appeared on @dawnnewspakistan to raise the voice of the #IT industry against the #Internet blockade which has cost the industry USD 50 lakh (5 Million) so far. Although services have been restored in places, many areas continue to suffer disruption.

The Chairman mentioned Pakistan's Internet services mainly operate over fiber/broadband and 3G/4G, leading to excessive load and slowdowns over fiber/broadband due to blockage of 3G/4G networks. Pakistan's IT industry is not just limited to #programming but is also a #business process outsourcing hub with call centers, #POS, and consumer #apps being severely impacted by disruption.

He reinforced the Internet is the lifeline of the IT industry and in parallel to national interest Pakistan Telecommunication Authority should act as a facilitator to whitelabel the IT industry and ensure business continuity.
