The Federal anti-monopoly service, FAS, decided to take domestic operators for what is depicted on the logo of the MTS, and get them to cancel roaming inside the country. This was announced by the head of Department Igor Artemyev, reports TASS.
According to FAS, all roaming in Russia you need to cancel, in principle, without inventing principles of the so-called “fair roaming” are working on domestic operators. Reportedly, the FAS has held a number of meetings with representatives of the Big Three, but at the moment the parties to the agreement did not come. As has noted g-n Artemyev, the abolition of roaming charges must affect the Crimea, which, though ours, but not yet fully. The operators subtly hinted that margins do not want to lose, so the abolition of national roaming is guaranteed to result in the growth of tariffs for mobile communications, so it’s a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, it would be cool to call from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok on the tariffs of the local communications, on the other hand, this is local communication can dramatically increase. It is unknown how FAS is going to resolve this issue, however, it is unlikely the Russians are willing to pay for cell phones even more in terms of stability of the economy, which constantly speak in the Kremlin. If prices rise, will have to switch from one operator to another and calls through the instant messengers using Wi-Fi network.
