I would Like to say that not very long ago there was another price increase on any goods or services. The whole world economy, including our country is suffering from coronavirus, emerging from the crisis and already seems ready to attract customers fresh, attractive discounts and dumping, but no, in Russia the situation is reversed. Moreover, the price tags rise not to the grocery and consumer on the virtual ruler. To increase and prices began to providers, ensuring the population of home Internet and TV. In General, over the 2020 year the growth of prices for home Internet and TV can be 10-15%. The problem is that the operators ran out of money and take them nowhere, except out of the pockets of consumers.
Despite the fact that the pandemic zeroed the budgets of all business necessary for something to exist. Moreover, during the quarantine of the players in our Telecom market was to meet the citizens and not only increased the cost of services, but also accelerated the speed of information transmission. For the opportunity non-stop on the cheap to watch TV shows in a period of self-isolation, of course, they thank you, but now it’s time for the Russians to pay the bills, and money, as you know, they have no income collapsed, and many employees lose their job.
the Problem is that third party this case is the initiative of the Deputy Irina Spring on sustainable Internet, according to which even the smallest ISP is required to share with intelligence agencies information and keys to decrypt their correspondence. All companies included in the registry of organizers of information dissemination (ARI), and there are already more than 200 must get a special hardware to connect to the remote FSB. You can even be sure that the cost of such equipment will be in the millions, depending on the volume of traffic of a specific market player. And now it becomes clear why service providers have started a choir to raise prices for their services. In hard crisis they are vital to the cache.
“In General, probably, it is not surprising, and it makes no sense to relate to what was going to happen. We talked about it more at the time of dispute regarding the “Spring package” that inevitably this will lead to more expensive tariff plans and access to the network”,— said the Internet Ombudsman Dmitry Marinichev.
Now work in the Telecom business is the principle of “to Whom war and to whom mother is native”. Consumers may accuse the operators of being greedy, but do not forget about the real reason for the rise of the Internet and television.
a Crusade on the Internet, launched Spring under the pretext of protection of personal data, risks to result in the most that neither is digital slaughter: the never-ending check of Roskomnadzor, lock resources, criminal sentences for me��s, the rise of the Internet, home television. Tariffs for mobile communication is also growing. To change the value of the services already announced several mobile operators. For the first half of 2020, the cost of services grew by 8% and this is not the limit: according to experts, the price of the minimum packet rate to the end of the year will increase on average by 14%. In addition, almost all operators are transplanted subscribers on tariffs with more inclusive package of services: Internet, voice messaging, SMS, and more price characteristics to increase revenue as with a private operator and the country as a whole. We remember — they need the cache.
In the course of the year, operators will raise tariffs for their services. First and foremost, this is due to the cost of implementation of the requirements of “Spring package” and the law on sustainable Runet.
Recall that in November 2019, a Business investment summit ASEAN, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that in Russia compared with other developed countries cheapest online. Here the audience is applauding, applauding, applauding, came to applaud.
In the past year in Lebanon has been popular revolts just after the rise in prices on the Internet. “Major protests” swept the country after the authorities announced the decision to impose residents with a new tax: users have to pay a monthly into the state Treasury of $6 per person, and this against the backdrop of complications of the political situation in the country and the economic crisis. In short, I look forward to similar developments in Russia.
