Russia - The Japanese were impressed by the prices for cellular communication and the Internet in Russia

Russia (bbabo.net) - A Japanese who visited Russia was impressed by the local prices for cellular communications and the Internet, as well as the availability and prevalence of free Wi-Fi. He shared his impressions on the Yahoo News Japan portal.

"Did you know that the prices for telecommunications in Russia are incredibly low compared to the rest of the world? They do not exceed a quarter of the average cost of communication in Europe," wrote a representative of the Land of the Rising Sun.

Also, the foreigner was pleasantly surprised by the quality of services of Russian Internet providers. In particular, he noted that the change in the tariff plan in Russia, in contrast to Japan, occurs instantly.

The author notes that in Russia there is little demand for mobile Internet, since there is free Wi-Fi in restaurants, shopping centers and public transport. It can also be easily connected at home. At the same time, the consumer has a wide choice from a large number of providers. For this reason, the representative of Japan is even ready to call Russia "Wi-Fi Heaven", quoted by the message of Inosmi.

Earlier it was reported that roaming would practically disappear within the Eurasian Economic Union, which includes Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, by 2025. It is expected that this measure will contribute to an increase in migration and the development of economic ties between states. It is clarified that we are talking about the maximum approximation of roaming tariffs to the home tariff for communication, as it was implemented in Russia and Belarus.
