A discussion about the Telecommunication Industry

Egypt's Telecommunications Ministry said the cable was cut, disrupting 70 percent of the country's Internet network.

"There has been a 50 to 60 percent cut in bandwidth," Rajesh Chharia, president of the Internet Service Providers' Association of India, told Reuters.

Chhaira hopes that a "degraded" service would be activated by Wednesday night, but full restoration will take 10 to 15 days.
