Karachi: Internet connectivity issues in Pakistan are posing a serious threat to the country’s digital future, warns the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (Wispap). The crisis has deeply impacted freelancers, students, and businesses alike.
Wispap Chairperson Shehzad Arshad highlighted that these disruptions not only slow progress but also undermine the fragile digital infrastructure.
He pointed out that while other nations can withstand such setbacks due to strong economies, Pakistan risks regressing rather than progressing.
VPNs, a lifeline for many users, have become entangled in regulatory hurdles, causing difficulties for legitimate users while neglecting critical vulnerabilities.
Arshad urged the government to simplify policies and engage stakeholders in open discussions to restore reliable connectivity and safeguard Pakistan’s digital economy.
