It is necessary to determine the procedure

According to Izvestia's source in the Federation Council, indirect connection is a system of connection to power grids, in which the end consumer receives energy not directly from the specialized company, but through an intermediary. For example, from a large industrial enterprise or from a road owner, who redistribute surplus electricity, he explained. This practice needs to be formalized by law, since currently in Russia there is no uniform procedure for interaction between road owners and communication operators, the Izvestia source noted.

According to him, there are armenia whatsapp resource cases in the regions where base stations already located along roads are not connected to electricity for years due to various delays and lack of incentives for cooperation. In order for communication along roads to appear faster, it is necessary to establish precise deadlines for the response of energy infrastructure owners to requests from operators about the possibility of indirect connection, he believes.

— for issuing technical conditions, as well as possible justifications for refusals. It is important to establish realistic tariffs for connection, since on highways with low traffic the activity of mobile operators is often unprofitable, — the interlocutor of Izvestia believes.

Problems with mobile internet coverage of roads are indeed evident, noted TelecomDaily CEO Denis Kuskov. According to his data, 70% of federal highways are provided with high-quality communications from all operators, and for regional highways this figure is about 40%.

“The initiative of the Digital Economy Council is timely, since providing coverage of federal highways for operators requires significant investments in the construction of antenna mast structures, the purchase and installation of scarce telecommunications equipment,” Tele2 noted.

The additional multiple increase in the cost of this construction is a consequence of the lack of points of technological connection to the power supply networks, says the operator's representative Daria Kolesnikova. According to her, this leads to the unprofitability of such projects. The key problem in terms of power supply is not the form of technological connection (indirect or not), but the absence or great distance of the nearest points of power grids of sufficient capacity from the places of installation of cellular infrastructure facilities, she believes.

“Any actions aimed at simplifying the connection of communications operators’ infrastructure to power grids should have a positive impact on the development of communications infrastructure,” VimpelCom commented on the proposed initiatives.
