📵 Network outages cost businesses 500 billion rubles
The internet disruptions experienced this April could cost Russian employers a staggering sum—up to 500 billion rubles.
Analysts from Inssmart have calculated that unstable connectivity is causing employee efficiency to plummet, effectively turning working hours into paid downtime.
Key figures from the study:
- Most Vulnerable Sectors: The creative industries, e-commerce, and the service sector are hit hardest, as a stable online connection is a critical requirement for their operations.
- Time Loss: The average employee spends between 10 and 30 minutes daily simply attempting to reconnect to the network or searching for alternative communication methods.
- Economic Impact: Based on an average monthly salary of 103,600 rubles, the daily losses to the economy are estimated to range between 7.2 and 26 billion rubles.
Experts note that this negative impact affects more than just corporate giants; it places significant pressure on small businesses, further straining national economic activity.
