Country faces economic impact from 24-hour internet outage
Internet outages are considered a serious economic event that affects various vital sectors. They can lead to the suspension of electronic payments, disruption of trade and logistics services, and halt production, costing economies hundreds of millions of dollars within just 24 hours. Experiences such as Egypt during the January Revolution have shown that an outage can directly cost around $90 million, with losses doubling if the outage continues. Other countries like Iran, Sudan, and Pakistan face losses ranging from several million to billions of dollars, with damages increasing as the outage persists and impacts small and medium-sized enterprises, financial sectors, transportation, and e-commerce.
