“Caller pays”: “yes” rather than “no”
The principle of "pays the caller" (Calling Party Pays, CPP) did not cause rejection of the Russians - 71% of the population assesses the reform positively. People are pleased that any incoming can be taken for free, regardless of the amount of money in the account. Russians see another advantage in the relationship of expenses exclusively with the volume of outgoing calls. This information is contained in the report of the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM), based on the results of the October survey of 1,600 people in 153 localities in the country (the report quoted by Prime-TASS ).
Konstantin Abramov, the first deputy director of VTsIOM, notes that the level of awareness of the introduction of CPP turned out to be very high - an average of 86% of respondents knew about the reform. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, these figures are higher - 96% and almost 100%, respectively. Piterites are more positive about CPP than Muscovites - 91% versus 61%, which is explained by Abramov as a broad Moscow educational program: during the metropolitan CPP awareness campaign, there were often negative reviews about the initiative.
Just over half of mobile users across Russia did not change their behavior under the influence of the new call payment system - 54% say as much as before. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the share of this group of subscribers is higher, amounting to 60% and 76%. But there are those who have reduced the frequency of calls on their mobile phone, or even completely refused them - about 6% of them in Russia. The share of 15% of those surveyed, on the contrary, began to use mobile communications more intensively after the introduction of CPP.

At the same time, the cost of mobile communications for most people (57%) did not change after July 1. Expenses of approximately an equal number of respondents have decreased or increased, amounting to 16% and 19%, respectively. In addition, the majority (56.3% in Russia as a whole and 50.3% in St. Petersburg) are confident that the price for a landline phone is not more or less than usual.
In Moscow, another story - the majority of Muscovites polled - 62.9% - complain that their expenses on a home phone slightly or greatly increased after July 1 (the date of the introduction of the RAF). Recall that the Moscow city telephone network reported that, compared with last year’s dynamics, in July 2006 there was a 30% decrease in the traffic of calls from fixed to mobile phones.
