In Komi, Rostelecom and T2 operator summed up the results of mobile Internet traffic consumption among residents of settlements where the federal project to eliminate digital inequality (UCN 2.0) was implemented. Residents of villages and towns of the republic downloaded almost 2 petabytes* of information in 2024. This is equivalent to 350 thousand films downloaded in good quality or 29 thousand games.
The three most Internet-active settlements of the region together consumed more than 350 TB of traffic. The leader was the village of Denisovka: local residents downloaded 132 TB. In second place is the village of Petrun, where users received and transmitted 120 TB of information. The village of Zakharvan closes the top three - 112 TB.
Sergey Lobanov, Director of the Komi branch of PJSC Rostelecom:
We built the first base station in the region in 2021. Today, modern mobile communications have appeared in 42 small settlements of the republic. Residents of villages and towns have access not only to entertainment, but also to other necessary, I would even say vital, services: government online services, telemedicine, distance education. In addition, stable access to the Internet allows you to buy goods on online platforms and work remotely.
Vitaly Osipov, Acting Minister of Digital Development and Communications of the Komi Republic:
The implementation of the program for eliminating digital inequality is an integral part of the Strategy for the Development of the Communications Industry in the Russian Federation. It is aimed at ensuring equal access to digital technologies for all residents and allows us to gradually reduce the gap in the level of technological development between urban and rural areas, provide residents of remote settlements with modern communication services and access to high-speed Internet. In conditions when technologies are becoming a significant component of our daily life and work, this is especially important.
Rostelecom is implementing a federal project to eliminate digital inequality commissioned by the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation. The operator T2 (a subsidiary of Rostelecom) is involved as a competence center. The project provides for the emergence of modern mobile communications in small towns with a population of 100 to 500 people.
* Petabyte (PT) is a unit of measurement of the amount of information, approximately equal to 1 million GB
