Internet cable crash down in Pakistan

Pakistan and India both are trying to attract outsourced high tech jobs therefore they should look forward and increase their efforts to have more than one cable installed for this region. As we know the future access to information and development depends on connectivity and speed of connection therefore they should look forward to building better communication systems. The idea is same like a motorway. A high speed multi way transmission link is needed for cyber-world striving in India and Pakistan.


Internet restoration may take a week -DAWN - Top Stories; July 1, 2005: "ISLAMABAD, June 30: Restoration of the internet system in the country could take at least another week as the ship arranged by the SEA-ME-WE-3 consortium had not yet reached the fault site, official sources told Dawn here on Thursday.

They said it was impossible to put the Internet system on a normal track within two or three days as the ship, which had sailed from Dubai, would take another two to three days to reach the site. It could take more than a week for any apparent improvement in Pakistan's Internet system, which has been down since Friday.

Meanwhile, the management of the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL) claimed in an official statement that it was providing enhanced satellite-based Internet provider (IP) connectivity to corporate customers, including banks, airline ticketing system, call centres and other financial services."
