    Telecoms in Russia King & Spalding LLP

    Telecoms in Russia King & Spalding LLP Global, Russia April 29 2019 Market spotlight Trends and developments What is the current state of the telecoms market in your jurisdiction, including any trends and recent developments/deals? The Russian telecoms market is dominated by five large companies that each hold a major share of the profits and a large subscriber base. Facing inevitable saturation, the telecoms market is generally following the global convergence trend, with Russian operators focusing on expanding the range of services offered to subscribers. Specifically, all mobile operators and some fixed-line operators have added internet protocol television or cable television services, while cable and satellite broadcasting operators have been increasingly providing additional interactive services and video-on-demand options. There is also increasing market concentration, with local, smaller-sized operators being acquired by or merged into larger, nationwide players. In terms of statutory regulations, the main trend appears to be a tightening of state control over information distribution via communications networks and the Internet, including messaging and over-the-top services and restrictions on the anonymity of communications (eg, through identification requirements for online and electronic service users). One of the most efficient and increasingly used enforcement measures (in addition to traditional penalties, such as fines) includes blocking access to certain web resources. The list of grounds for the blocking of access to a web resource is constantly expanded. This measure is performed by telecoms operators which must cover all such costs. Regulatory framework Legislation What is the primary legislation governing the telecoms market in your jurisdiction? The primary pieces of legislation governing the telecoms market are: • Federal Law 126-FZ (the Communications Law), dated July 7 2003 (as amended), which is the cornerstone regulation for all telecoms activities.
