Internet service providers (ISPs) have warned that the internet facility could be shut down across the country from next week. The Internet Service Providers’ Association of Nepal (ISPAN) said on Saturday that since the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MoCIT) ceased to recommend for the foreign currency needed to pay to the upstream providers companies like Tata, Airtel and Siffy, Nepali companies couldn’t pay for the service. Upstream providers are large ISPs that sell internet service to small local ISPs.
Internet service in most areas across the country including the Kathmandu valley has been affected after the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) launched a drive to remove internet cables from utility poles used by internet service providers (ISPs).
