Actual Experience: A poor internet violates human rights

So much of our employment, social, educational and economic activities rely on the internet. We can’t quantify the human cost of internet shutdowns but we can the economic one. The shutdowns cost billions of dollars. Countless stories of lost contracts, business closures and sacked employees followed last year’s 94-day shutdown in “Silicon Mountain” Cameroon.

India has had the most shutdowns, more than 100 in 2018 alone, due to political turmoil, protests, military operations or even to prevent examination cheating.

If you knew that pulling the plug on your neighbourhood’s internet connection was going to cost local businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost sales and productivity and cost dozens of people their jobs, you would probably avoid doing it.

DirectorsTalk caught up with Actual Experience CEO Dave Page who said:

“This piece articulates well how a poor internet violates human rights and undermines business productivity, which are massive global issues, but until it is managed from a human experience perspective the Internet will never be fit for purpose.”
