Wi-Fi on the passport will be only for paid access points

The Ministry of Communications and Mass Media clarified in which case it is necessary to authenticate clients when connecting to WI-FI.

Sergey Kopylov explains that only those who distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi for money should receive a license. In the case of free access, you do not need to receive a license. A source in the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media confirmed the legality of such interpretation of the legislation.

The clarification was received at the request of the deputy Dengin.

In other words - If you anonymously connect to the access point - then you will be anonymous! But if you paid for access to the Internet, that is, you provided your payment details - then you also need to introduce yourself at the same time that you are you.

More details:

This means that administrations of cafes, libraries, schools, parks and other public places with free Wi-Fi do not need to identify their users. If, of course, the relevant organization did not acquire, for some reason, an operator license.

But if an organization has entered into a contract with a telecom operator for the provision of Wi-Fi services to its visitors, the operator must identify users.

In short, if you are provided with access to the Internet via Wi-Fi free of charge and the owner of this point (not the service provider!) Is not a telecom operator, then he has the right not to request identification data from the connected subscriber. That is, access to such public Wi-Fi points will remain anonymous.
