Internet in the province: there are prospects?
Although the president speaks of the desire to create e-government and the general internetization of the country, the situation with the Internet in the Russian province still leaves much to be desired. The provincial market is often monopolized by cumbersome companies that provide telephone services since the days of Ilyich.
The only option in this case is to connect ADSL - and hope that the telephone line was laid not so long ago and the connection will be more or less stable. The question of the cost of such a lousy Internet - do not discuss at all - do not like it - do not use it: no competitors, no struggle, no tariff war - the subscriber will eat what they give - he has no choice.
It remains only to sigh and envy the residents of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large cities, where for $ 20 a month you can have a comfortable speed and not be limited in traffic.
According to research, in Russia more than 40% of home computer users do not have access to the Internet. At the same time, the smaller the city, the greater the proportion of users who do not have access to the network. As can be seen from the diagram, the main reasons for this are that users do not have the technical ability to connect and there is no need for it.
Mobile operators correctly saw this as a marketing opportunity and began to display mobile modems for connection.
This week promises to be launched on sale a new product from Beeline - “Beeline Internet House”, which gives us the right to consider the proposals of the whole “big three”, as well as the popular SkyLink.
As can be seen from the table, the cost of traffic is still far from comparing with “leased out” in large cities; nevertheless, such offers give a real alternative to the provincial ADSL providers, and besides, it makes it possible to not be tied to a telephone line. And with the introduction of 3G in commercial operation - will provide an acceptable data transfer rate.
I would like to ask the residents of non-Moscow and non-Peter how much such products are relevant and in demand in the local market?
