I am a subject-matter expert for HTTP (Web). I am not looking at the
topic from that perspective. I'll focus on the internet in Mauritius.

There isn't loss of money for downtime. I am not sure whether there
is loss of trust. Do the clients look elsewhere? I don't know.

Here is what we did: we took an open source software which comes
without any warranty, added it to a "web package" and sold that to
the customer. We then blame the customer for not paying us for security.

Is the problem being solved? No. The result is that users in
Mauritius will be facing problems. I am also a user. The problem
can also negatively affect me. This is where I try to find other
persons who have a similar problem and who would be interested to solve it.
