The Ministry of Digital Affairs proposes that regions subsidize the connection of telecom operators to power grids to improve cellular coverage of highways.
The initiative aims to reduce operators' costs when installing base stations. According to experts, the cost of connecting one station can vary from 300 thousand to several million rubles, especially in areas where there are no nearby power lines.
A representative of Rosseti supported the proposal. According to him, subsidies from regional budgets will help accelerate the development of communication infrastructure, especially in sparsely populated areas. However, the specific regions in which the program is planned to be implemented have not yet been specified.
