In September, the FAS sent to the government a negative review of the strategy for the communications industry until 2035 developed by the Ministry of Digital Development. The FAS was not satisfied with the proposal to allow telecom operators to index tariffs to a level “not less than the consumer price index,” and also to transfer part of the operators’ infrastructure maintenance costs to content providers.
