Businesses and individuals throughout India and much of the Middle East are facing a lack of Internet connection after an undersea cable was accidentally cut. The cable may have been severed by the anchor of a ship that was rerouted due to storms. The outage has caused over two thirds of Egypt’s Internet network and over half of the bandwidth in India to be lost. Partial service should be restored soon but full service could take up to two weeks to resume. It is unclear at this point how business and commerce will be affected as a result of the outage.
