Pakistan may face economic losses of up to $300 million from recent internet disruptions.
The Pakistan Software Houses Association (PSHA) has expressed concerns about the potential financial impact of a new internet firewall, which they believe could result in significant economic damage.
The PSHA reports that the firewall has already caused internet outages and worsened VPN performance.
Although firewalls are widely used for cybersecurity, the PSHA argues that these disruptions are more than mere inconveniences—they are harmful to industrial progress.
The financial impact could use exceed $300 million, with serious repercussions for businesses.
