Mobile internet has been shut down in Moscow for a week

Over the past week, complete mobile internet outages have been recorded in the center of Moscow.

Businesses have lost about $70 million over five days. The hardest hit sectors include taxis, car-sharing services, courier services, and retail businesses.

The outages occurred without warning, and the authorities have not explained the reasons, citing security measures.

It is assumed that Moscow is testing a "whitelist" technology, where access is restricted only to certain resources.
