Let's start with the sources:
For the bored reader I write out the most fried part.
According to the plans of the Ministry of Communications, a change in the provider market is expected - all operators are divided into "federal telecom operators" and
plebeian telecom operators.
Wherein:
')
“Just telecom operators” prohibits cross-border data transfer. This should, will and can be done only by federal telecom operators.
Federal telecom operators themselves are obliged to be present throughout the country, and year after year the requirements for presence increase - by 2014 these are cities with 100k population, and by 2018 - with 8k (yes, in every polar city optics). Thus, only a Very Very Very fat operator can become FOS. And he will have a monopoly on foreign traffic.
Tariffs for connecting operators are, of course, democratic, regulated by the regulator (which is struggling to hold back the suddenly formed monopolist / monopolists).
For operators, the mandatory nature of symmetric calculations for piercing is introduced, as well as the mandatory nature of piercing.
At the moment, the main contender for this position is Rostelecom, which, suddenly, is becoming an "aplink of all Russia."
Consumer consequences: lack of competition, fixed “vertical of the Internet”, fixing the cost of the channel with chances for its gradual growth (indexation due to inflation, etc), the quality of the Internet begins to be determined by the
post of Russia by one or two large operators who live on monopolies and quality ... hmm ... provide, on the results of the consideration of the complaint within 30 days, etc.
It is obvious that in such conditions it becomes very comfortable to isolate unwanted autonomous systems and individual nodes. If they are in Russia, then the issue is solved by a method that is comfortable for law enforcement agencies, if it is outside the country, there is a pocket FOS (federal telecom operator), which it will happily ban.
These are the pictures looming ...
