Transferring cables from heaven to earth can cost Moscow broadband operators 6 billion rubles a year
The Moscow government prohibits the Combining of administrative and technical inspections of Moscow from issuing permits to Moscow operators for laying overhead communication lines and power transmission lines.
DepTEH really stands for the transfer of overhead lines underground, but without forcing operators to do this - this position has been agreed with the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS), notes Mikhail Balabanov, first deputy head of the Moscow fuel and energy sector (DepTEH). According to him, a ban on the laying of new overhead lines can be imposed only on some highways. It's about the highways that are currently being reconstructed under the My Street improvement program. According to the program, in 2015 it is planned to reconstruct more than 40 streets. A new cable sewage will be built there: it will be enough not only for all existing operators, there should be enough free resources for decades, Balabanov asserts.
According to an employee of one of the operators, approximately 1,000 kilometers of overhead lines are built annually in Moscow and in nearby territories. He estimates the cost of building 1 kilometer of sewage at 5 million rubles. According to the top manager of another company, now the construction of 1 kilometer of underground cable infrastructure in Moscow with the re-laying of previously built communications costs from 6 million rubles.

How officials can prohibit the construction of new overhead lines, if the current construction norms and rules permit this, the general director of Iskratelekom, Alkhas Mirzabekov, is surprised. Moscow operators are not against the transfer of cables underground - the last three years they have been doing this in new buildings, he told Vedomosti. Now fixed and mobile services in Russia and Moscow are among the cheapest in the world and, in order to keep them like that, the tariff for sewage rental should be no higher than 1.5–2 rubles per meter per month, Mirzabekov said. So far, these rates are higher at times.
According to Denis Rychka, a representative of the Akado group of companies, Akado builds communication lines by air only where there is no technical possibility to lay the cable underground, mainly in the city center. Of the more than 23 thousand kilometers of Akado fiber-optic communication lines, only 5 thousand kilometers are laid by air. "Akado" drew the attention of the FAS to the actions of such monopolistic operators as MGTS : MGTS sets different tariffs for reservation and operation of sewage for budget organizations and commercial structures. In addition, it sets access to communications monopoly high prices.
City authorities should compensate for the cost of purchasing and laying a new cable, as well as partially offset the cost of renting a sewage system, says a representative of Rostelecom, Andrei Polyakov. Such decisions of officials may threaten the further development of broadband access in Moscow, fears the representative of VimpelCom, Anna Aybasheva.
