Business Alert: Key U.S. provider of Internet to Russia is planning to cut service there, citing ‘unprovoked invasion of Ukraine,’ sources say
| Washington, D.C.-based Cogent Communications warned Russian customers that it intended to terminate what are known as backbone services to the Internet. The cutoff primarily would affect Internet traffic between North America and Russia, hurting, though not disabling, the Russian government's ability to push out propaganda but also curtailing Russians' access to U.S. news sources. |
