In Ukraine, officials voiced plans to make money on the traffic of Internet applications

Something at least strange is happening in Ukraine again: the head of the National Commission for the Regulation of Communications and Informatization, Petr Yatsuk, in an interview to a well-respected source, said the following:

New revenues can only be obtained through the monetization of content access services . Telecom operators want and have the full right to make money on the transfer of data from Internet applications . It `s naturally. Today, all networks are used only as a transit pipe. As a result, companies do not want to continue to upgrade networks. Therefore, we will definitely develop regulatory documents in the field of regulating access to services, information and content . We are in the first stage - just open the door. And we do not know what will be behind it

It is not quite clear whether a government official is aware of one of the highest ranks, Peter Yatsuk, the meaning of the words he said: in fact, he offers telecom operators to receive money not for communication services as such, but to receive a fee for the transfer of data that Skype and customer.

Yatsuk proves his thoughts as follows:

Here is a prime example - Skype. For three years, from an unknown company, it has become a billion-dollar asset by value. It works on the basis of cloud technologies. This company can be said to be virtual. In addition to employees and the equipment on which they work, the main cost of Skype is software. She brings big money. At the same time, the load on the network is growing. Telecom operators have nowhere to go. Regulators require them to improve the quality of services - expanding networks. But the operators have no money for it. This is the problem. And if we do not solve it by joint efforts, then it will only get worse.

So far these are only plans. The question is what they will embody in reality?
