Offered
the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications new amendments to the law
"About Communication"
Today the wire in a multicore cable is not object of property. Operators
cannot share communication channels, and it interferes with
liberalization of a telecom market.
The separate wire in an electric cable of communication or separate
fiber in optical can be bought,
sold or leased. Offered such amendments to the law "About Communication"
to the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications. Now "object of the
real rights" is only the cable in general – and operators have no legal
opportunity to share it.
– Now physical chains (electric wires, optical fibers) are considered as indivisible
part of the mounted communication cable, – explained in the ministry. – Because
of it operators have no opportunity to lease physical chains, and also to carry out other transactions. With adoption of this bill
this legal gap will be eliminated.
Department wants to legalize long ago the situation which developed de
facto, the representative of one of large communications operators declared.
For example, builders of the residential area lay cables and sell them on
separate wires. As a rule, costs of servicing and emergency recovery operations
are compensated by operators in
proportion to a share in the general cable.
– Amendments will promote development of the competition in the
telecommunication market and to
creating favorable conditions for activity of operators, – consider in
"Akado Telecom". – But the measure of responsibility of each owner of a physical
chain in one cable, for example, in case of emergencies and carrying out
recovery work is not clear.
Today in Russia there are historically developed "cable
monopolists". For example, at MGTS in Moscow about 80 thousand
kanalokilometr of wires underground are laid.
In other regions primary position is held by "Rostelecom".
– If these norms were accepted a few years ago, they would be much more
effective, – Denis Kuskov, the general director of analytical agency
TelecomDaily declared.
In general MGTS positively estimates this legislative initiative,
reported in the press service of the company. But the company now develops in
Moscow a new network – on the
GPON technology, and it "will not be focused on business on leasing of
separate communication channels".
The offered amendments are aimed at simplification of access for operators
to infrastructure, the representative of one more operator told. They can be
not too effective in Moscow and St. Petersburg, where quite high penetration of broadband
Internet access. But will be useful to regional operators who will be able to
rent communication channels at the large main – such as "Rostelecom"
and "Transtelekom".
As for possible accidents, now they are eliminated by the owner of a
cable, the interlocutor explained. After
adoption of amendments of the relation between the owner of a cable and those who
rents fibers in it, and have to be regulated by the contract.
Opportunity to acquire necessary part of cable infrastructure will
promote increase of cost of the operator companies, "Akado Telecom's" representative reminded.
