Tariff cancellation will be carried out in stages The MTS operator announced the deadline for completing the process of canceling payments for distributing Internet traffic from smartphones. According to the company, taking into account the necessary improvements to IT systems, the phased abolition of tariffs for Internet distribution will be completely carried out by the end of February 2024. In this case, tariffication will be canceled on all tariffs where this option is provided, including unlimited ones. Let us remind you that earlier we were talking about the return of free traffic distribution only for tariffs with prepaid packages, but not for unlimited ones.  [caption id="attachment_83068" align="aligncenter" width="780"] MTS[/caption] MTS will finally cancel fees for Internet distribution no later than the end of February According to MTS, the company made this decision “taking into account the socio-economic situation and meeting our users halfway.” Other large Russian operators - MegaFon, VimpelCom and Tele2 - began to cancel payments for distributing the Internet from smartphones since the end of October this year at the request of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS). MTS first stated that it would not allow its subscribers to distribute the Internet for free from mobile devices, as this would lead to an increase in the cost of traffic for all tariffs. But then the operator changed his mind and decided to comply with the FAS requirements.

Previously, MTS refused to comply with the FAS requirement The MTS operator has changed its mind regarding the need to charge a fee for the distribution of Internet traffic. Following MegaFon, VimpelCom (Beeline brand) and Tele2, the operator agreed to the demands of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) to provide subscribers with the opportunity to distribute Internet traffic from their mobile devices for free.

Let us recall that on September 18, the FAS warned MTS, MegaFon, VimpelCom and Tele2 about the need to cancel fees for distributing Internet traffic from mobile devices and gave the companies one month to comply with the requirements. In September alone, the antimonopoly authority received 186 consumer complaints.
