Outsourcing in India hit by Internet disruption

Indian outsourcing industry which largely relies on Internet has suffered a major communication disruption yesterday after undersea cable was damaged in the Mediterranean. Not only India, telecommunication was affected in neighboring countries like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Rajesh Chharia, president of the Internet Service Providers' Association of India said,

Information-technology companies, software companies and call centres that provide online services to the UK or the US East Coast are the worst affected. Some of them are re-routing through the Pacific as a backup, but the voice quality and speed of traffic will be highly degraded.underwater-cable-internet-connection
