Brief retelling from RIA II

As part of the discussed communications reform, it is planned to establish requirements for minimum Internet speed in apartment buildings.

Within 10 years, subscribers should be able to order a speed of at least 1 Gbit/s per household.

To ensure this speed, every apartment building must have at least one 10-gigabit switch installed.

MOSCOW, October 9 - RIA Novosti. Requirements for minimum Internet speed in apartment buildings are planned to be fixed as part of the discussed communications reform - within 10 years, subscribers should be able to order a speed of at least 1 Gb/s per household, said Deputy Head of the Russian Ministry of Digital Development Dmitry Ugnivenko at the Digital Solutions forum.

“As part of the proposed reform, which we are now preparing and discussing, there are requirements for the minimum speed that is available to subscribers. ... Within 10 years, in every apartment building, a subscriber should be able to order a speed of at least one gigabit per household,” he said.

The deputy minister explained that to ensure such speed, at least one 10-gigabit switch must be installed in every apartment building.

According to him, this will allow operators to predict their purchases from vendors, and vendors to understand their market and build their production in this direction.

Ugnivenko noted that this is not a matter of a couple of years, but a task of medium-term planning for the coming decades.
