FAS forced operators to abolish roaming charges in Russia

The Federal Antimonopoly service (FAS) has issued a warning to the Big Three and Tele2 operator containing the order as soon as possible to abolish national roaming. In other words, all operators are soon going to cancel the boundaries between regions and establish a unified cost of calls across the country.

Warning, the FAS issued to operators, indicating an unjustified increase in tariffs for calls when the subscriber is outside the home region, but in Russia. Antimonopoly service has obliged the Beeline, Tele2, MTS and MegaFon to eliminate the violation within 14 days and notify its subscribers of the change 10 days before the introduction of the new pricing terms. This note is consistent with current legislation, so four days later you can wait the arrival of an SMS message, or at least the news on the official website.

We also recall that from January 2017 all operators engaged in changing tariff plans in the direction of their appreciation, while the deterioration of their conditions. At Beeline, for example, now, even at rates postpaid network minutes are consumed from the package. Most likely, the abolition of national roaming charges, imposed by the FAS, will cause the next wave of growth of prices for mobile communication.
