Ready for Cheburnet? The Digital Development Ministry is considering charging for VPN use on mobile internet
Earlier, the Association of Communications Companies approached Russia’s Digital Development Ministry with a question about possible limits on VPN traffic (above 15 GB). The ministry confirmed that separate pricing for international traffic is indeed being discussed.
So far this concerns mobile networks only; there are no decisions on home internet. The proposal is to ban Russian users from using foreign internet and blocked websites, keep up pressure on VPN services, and charge money for viewing banned social networks.
Access to the world gets repriced
Russia is weighing mobile charges for VPN access and foreign traffic.
Freedom arrived as a paid option.
