its isnt a purely muslim country there are quite a few christians and other religions aswell. so please keep the generalisation out. you should relate to this just as you would relate to any other country loosing such an important form of comunication.

Busted

 

[Icarusintel]

you mean he's time-travelling back to 1820?

 

[Shodan]

you mean he's time-travelling back to 1820?

I think the net was invented slightly after that.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

That's bad news for the entire region.

edit: yep, just read even harder than just the affects of neighboring countries from their loss, the cable problems will also DIRECTLY affect them. This probably won't help India/Pakistan tensions any

 

[Raziaar]

What's the big deal? Can't they repair/replace the cable and get things back working again?

 

[Kouler]

No, its underground and underwater ^^

 

[Cooper]

I know I am not helping anything but why did they have only one cable for the entire country? Is it because of money or something else? Honestly, if someone wanted to completely destroy Pakistan's internet all they have to do is cut one cable.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

No, its underground and underwater ^^

u mean the big fishies bit the cable?! :O

Again, its underground and underwater.


It was probably Extremely expensive to get it there in the first place...

If they did it once, they could always lay another one down.
