Fahd Date: Thursday 27 October 2016 18:38 Subject: New Report on Measuring the Costs of Internet Shutdowns Dear Colleague, GNI is today launching an important new report on the cost to economies of blocking the Internet. <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__globalnetworkinitiative .us5.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D0783c5af752516db406e4edd7-26id-3De6 c2bde18f-26e-3D57340847f0&d=DQMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4 I5cM&r=RrrXyaBfa00GH1liTedM3FwobVakuhJ-qs1N8-Ji8VE&m=JgLyevmpRuIpavjiotu5AnO RaTxAhzqJCSkRjbXjsMo&s=mLP8nGkft_QrodvrHQHPyMBFySooInPpu9Y95SDCW54&e=> "The Economic Impacts of Disruptions to Internet Connectivity"[globalnetworkinitiative.us5.list-manage.com] was prepared by Deloitte and estimates that countries stand to lose between 0.4 and 1.9% of daily GDP for every day they block access to online services. Importantly, the report sets out a framework for measuring the economic impact of shutdowns based on levels of connectivity in a country and by population. We believe this will be an important tool for advocacy organizations around the world working to keep the Internet open and free. We hope this will spur more research on the real costs of denying access to all types of communications platforms.
