The government has adopted important amendments to the resolution that allow providers and operators to book construction crews to develop energy-resilient networks. This is reported in the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports
“Ukrainians must stay connected under any circumstances. To do this, it is necessary to develop blackout-resistant Internet networks and mobile communications. After a meeting with key telecom market players, we developed changes to the procedure for booking mobile operators and Internet providers, and the government supported them,” the statement said.
Booking: what will change for providers and operators
According to the new rules, providers planning to install xPON networks and having construction plans for the year ahead will be able to book construction crews.
In addition, operators building energy-resilient networks on highways and national roads will also be entitled to book the necessary specialists to perform the work.
Another important change is the requirement to include providers and operators in the list of critical enterprises. This will ensure priority service and expand opportunities for maintaining the functioning of networks in emergency situations.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation is currently developing the conditions under which enterprises will be able to be included in this list.
Providing access to high-speed Internet
In addition to technical innovations, the Ministry of Digital Transformation has set an ambitious goal to provide access to fixed gigabit Internet for at least 75% of Ukrainians by 2030.
This step is important for improving the quality of life, business development and access to important information in all regions of the country.
