Order of June 23, 2025 No. 1618-r

The funds of the universal service reserve, which is formed from deductions of a portion of the revenue of telecom operators, will be used to create fiber-optic communication lines in up to 70 settlements in the country. Their list has been approved by a Government order.

We are talking about populated areas, including those located in hard-to-reach areas.

The decision that the creation of fiber-optic communication lines for a number of territories can be financed from the universal service reserve was made at the end of May 2025 to implement the new provisions of the federal law “On Communications”. It will increase the availability of communication services for local residents and open access to digital services for businesses.
