断网4196小时，印度损失13亿美元

CHENNAI: Internet shutdowns in India are not just disruptions in routine and individual freedom, but are also having an economic impact on the country. Around 4,196 hours of internet blackouts in India cost the economy close to $1.3 billion in 2019, finds a study by UK-based tech research firm Top10Vpn.

金奈：断网不仅扰乱了人们的日常生活，还对印度经济造成了影响。英国科技研究公司Top10Vpn的一项研究发现，2019年，印度断网约4196小时，导致经济损失近13亿美元。

India was the third worst-hit economy worldwide after crisis-hit Iraq and Sudan thanks to state-imposed shut downs across Jammu & Kashmir, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Rajasthan, UP and other regions, shows the report. An average of 8.4 million internet users were impacted across the multiple incidents, it said.

报告显示，由于查谟和克什米尔、阿萨姆邦、梅加拉亚邦、拉贾斯坦邦、北方邦和其他地区的政府强制关闭互联网，印度成为继伊拉克和苏丹之后全球受断网冲击第三严重的经济体。报告称，在这几起事件中，平均有840万互联网用户受到影响。

The economic impact is likely to be higher, the study adds, given that the study only assessed large region-wide blackouts and India's smaller and more localised shutdowns weren't included.

该研究还表示，鉴于仅评估了全地区范围内的大规模断网，而不包括印度规模较小、范围更广的地区，因此对经济造成的损失可能更大。

"There were more internet shutdowns in 2019 than ever before," Samuel Woodhams and Simon Migliano, authors of the report by Top10Vpn told TOI in an email. "As for India, the frequency of disruptions still far surpasses any other country we analysed and, unless swift action is taken to reduce the number and duration of disruptions, the economic impact is likely to continue to rise," they added.

Top10Vpn报告的作者Samuel Woodhams和Simon Migliano在邮件中告诉《印度时报》:“2019年的断网次数比以往任何时候都更多。”他们补充称:“至于印度，断网的频率仍远高于我们分析的其它任何国家。除非迅速采取行动，减少断网次数和持续时间，否则对经济影响可能会继续上升。”

"The shutdown in Kashmir is one of the longest internet shutdowns to have ever occurred and cost the Indian economy nearly $1.1 billion in 2019," Woodhams and Migliano said. It has hurt the economy, impacted local healthcare services, freedom of the press and education in the region.

Samuel Woodhams和Simon Migliano称:“克什米尔地区是迄今为止断网持续时间最长的地区之一，在2019年对印度经济造成的损失近11亿美元，损害了经济，影响了当地的医疗服务、新闻自由和教育。

The clampdown of internet services in the northeast in relation to the Citizenship Amendment Act resulted in around $102 million of economic impact, and the restrictions in Uttar Pradesh led to a $63 million hit.

《公民身份修正案》出台后，印度东北部对互联网服务的限制导致了约1.02亿美元的经济损失，而北方邦的互联网限制导致了6300万美元的经济损失。

Would you have taken the responsibility had 100 people died with rumor mongering? Would you guys have blamed the internet or Govt for this?

如果有100人被散布的谣言害死，你们会把这归咎于互联网的传播吗?

The study failed to calculate what the losseswould have been if the internet was not shutdown. And, why the internet had to be shutdown? That the Congress-Leftists are respinsible for inciting people to violence over something which should be none of their concern!

这项研究没算算如果没有断网，损失会有多大。还有，为什么必须断网?

What is the base for the loss through internet? Is it loss for internet providers or for India ?

断网对谁造成了损失?是互联网运营商的损失，还是印度的损失?

Congress and its ally parties don't care about such losses: they are just trying to implement the agenda of Pakistan, i.e. create disharmony in India

国大党及其盟友并不关心损失，他们试图在印度制造不和谐

we are only looking at economic impact which can be recovered once every thing is normal. but the social impact by way of loss of lives and other effects are not getting measured as it cannot be quantified. I think India should and can take that loss rather than have loss of lives which may dent the lives of so many families.

我们只关注对经济造成的影响，一旦一切恢复正常，就能弥补损失。我认为印度应该而且能够承受这种损失，不能牺牲无辜的生命，否则会影响许多家庭的生活。
