The Ministry of Finance will allow providers to turn off the Internet for refusing fiber

The Russian Ministry of Finance has proposed allowing Internet service providers to unilaterally disconnect subscribers from the home Internet if they do not respond to a request for replacement of communication cables. The relevant draft law was published on February 17 on the portal of draft regulatory legal acts.

The law assumes that providers have the right to replace old copper cables with fiber-optic lines as part of the modernization of communications. Thus, operators must notify their subscribers at least 30 days before the start of replacement work.
