The internet shutdown in Pakistan has had a significant impact on the country’s economy and people’s lives. The telecom sector has reportedly lost Rs2.49 billion, the government has lost Rs860 million, and the e-commerce, online services, home delivery, and ride-hailing industries have all been affected. In addition, nearly 150,000 bike riders in Islamabad and Rawalpindi have been affected by the suspension of the broadband internet facility. As per reports, the IT industry has suffered a loss of Rs10 billion in the last three days.

The internet shutdown has also had a negative impact on people’s ability to access information and communicate with each other. People have been unable to stay up-to-date on the news, access educational resources, or connect with friends and family. The shutdown has also created a sense of uncertainty among the population.

The government has not provided any justification for the internet shutdown, and it is unclear when it will be lifted.

CWPK Legacy
Launched in 1967 internationally, ComputerWorld is the oldest tech magazine/media property in the world. In Pakistan, ComputerWorld was launched in 1995. Initially providing news to IT executives only, once CIO Pakistan, its sister brand from the same family, was launched and took over the enterprise reporting domain in Pakistan, CWPK has emerged as a holistic technology media platform reporting everything tech in the country. It remains the oldest continuous IT publishing brand in the country and in 2025 is set to turn 30 years old, which will be its biggest benchmark and a legacy it hopes to continue for years to come. CWPK is part of the SPIN/IDG Wakhan media umbrella.
