The government does not support the idea of paid registration of devices in cellular networks
The Russian government did not support paid registration of devices in mobile networks via IMEI, as reported by Vedomosti. Nevertheless, the officials consider the registration idea itself to be correct, as stated by the vice-premier Maxim Akimov, the curator of the Digital Economy program.
“We are now discussing this with the Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications Konstantin Noskov, we do not support the idea of payment, we support the idea of registration,” said Akimov. In his opinion, the registration procedure will increase the effectiveness of anti-theft devices and to ensure national security.
"When making transparent decisions about turning off such devices, such as those stolen from citizens, the giant criminal market will collapse, because it will not make sense to steal only if you donate them for parts," he said. The government in question, the bill in question, has not yet been submitted.
As for the idea itself, it has already been written about it. The State Duma introduced a bill on the mandatory introduction of February 1, 2020 paid registration of all devices that operate in cellular networks. It can be mobile phones, tablets, Internet of Things devices (even smart meters of heat, water and gas).
By IMEI number, new manufacturers and importers will be obliged to register new mobile devices. In addition, physical persons will also be required to register gadgets in the event that purchased them abroad. The cost of paid registration, according to officials, will not exceed 100 rubles.
