MTS opens file sharing
MTS announced the launch of the file-sharing internet service redpost.mts.ru . With it, you can send files up to 2 GB to specific email addresses, i.e. file sharing is targeted. It is curious that the service is not tied to MTS subscribers in any way - it does not require entering a phone number and works through the web interface. The question arises: how is MTS going to make money on this? ..
The only option that I see is the ability to make money on traffic from their subscribers, who will use the service from mobile phones. Those. in fact, there is a promotion of traffic consumption. But, in my opinion, very few people, without using the unlimited tariff, will download large files from a cell phone. So the initiative looks weird - at least.
On the other hand, through this service, you can send a pirated copy of anything (the film, for example, is quite suitable in terms of volume) - you only need to specify the recipients. At the same time, no responsibility for pirated content is mentioned - they are even going to check for viruses themselves.
Details about the service from MTS:
