GOP Finally Takes Interest why Internet Slowdown in Pakistan
as $3 Billion in IT Exports and 100 Stakeholders Are at Risk
The IT Ministry and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) have finally responded to the ongoing internet slowdown across the country, a crisis that threatens Pakistan's $3 billion IT sector exports and affects over 100 local and international stakeholders. After days of widespread disruptions and mounting user complaints, both authorities have acknowledged the issue and provided updates on the situation.
In their statements, the IT Ministry and PTA outlined the steps being taken to restore normal internet speeds and improve connectivity. They assured the public that efforts are underway to identify and resolve the underlying causes of the slowdown, which has impacted users nationwide and put at risk the operations of over 100 stakeholders who rely heavily on stable internet connections.
This response comes after increasing pressure from citizens, businesses, and stakeholders, who have been struggling with inconsistent and slow internet services. The slowdown has raised concerns about the potential loss of billions in IT exports and the detrimental effects on both local and international partners. The authorities have also promised to keep the public informed about progress and any further developments as they work towards stabilizing the network, safeguarding the IT sector’s economic contributions, and addressing the concerns of the affected stakeholders.
