According to him, while telecom operators demonstrate

According to him, as a participant in the project, he insisted on documenting the principle of network neutrality, according to which providers are prohibited from blocking sites or using discriminatory measures against any Internet traffic. "In my opinion, the strategy quite well spells out the new principles of interaction between operators and IT market players who use operator networks to extract their own profits - in particular, these are streaming resources. And I hope that this principle will find more understanding than conditional taxes on traffic," explained Sergei Polovnikov.

an understanding of the goals indonesia whatsapp resource and objectives of the strategy, other market participants do so less clearly. "It is clear that if companies are forced to share income and revenue with infrastructure players, this probably does not cause them much enthusiasm. The same applies to equipment manufacturers, because the strategy does not state which path we are choosing - proprietary equipment or the Open RAN principle. I think that players will express all these comments during the month allotted for discussing the document," the expert added.

According to him, during the discussion, almost all the comments of independent experts were taken into account and included in the final version of the project, which was published by the Ministry of Digital Development. Nevertheless, Sergei Polovnikov spoke in favor of clarifying the legal concept of "communication tariff" in order to exclude additional services from it, such as subscriptions to online cinemas.

"We do not have such a legal term as "communication tariff". At the same time, it is proposed to allow tariffs to be indexed and changed. It is probably difficult to express this within the framework of the strategy, but in the future I would like to see in the regulatory documentation a definition of what a communication tariff is and what it includes. Because, if we speak in the spirit of our documents and regulations, these are tariffs for packages of minutes, gigabytes and SMS. But in reality, they include some Internet cinemas, some additional unlimited options, access to some resources, streaming and cloud services. And when we say "tariffs will become more expensive", this may happen as a result of an increase in the cost of a cinema subscription. Therefore, in my opinion, our ministry is only at the very beginning of the journey. However, this fundamental document, from which many things were thrown out during the discussion, causes me more optimism than disappointment," he commented.

Industry analyst Alexey Boyko, who also took part in the discussion of the document, believes that the strategy is not an operating manual, but rather a fixation of the point where we are, as well as a presentation of a scenario of possible or desirable development. "It contains elements of a dream and is unlikely to be or should be implemented exactly. In our situation, it is hardly possible to seriously talk about plans for 2035, when it is not very clear what will happen in the coming months," noted Alexey Boyko.
