The Ministry of Communications is prepared to consider a proposal to store data on calls and correspondence of Rossian on public servers. Nicolai Nikiforov reported this to the TAS. “I do not exclude that such models may be proposed, but, in order for such statements to be authoritative, it is necessary to go through the whole stage of discussion with both the telecommunications industry and the law enforcement agencies for which all this is done”, the Minister said that it was possible to place the responsibility of keeping information on the structures of the State.
The duty to keep all of their customers ' tranships -- calls, letters, files, conversations -- is provided for in an anti-terrorist package of amendments developed by Irina Yarova and Senator Victor Lakes. Amendments should enter into force on 1 July 2018.
MTS and Megafon welcome the message of the MTS Data storage function State structures, representatives of operators. The Operators, from the outset of the discussion of the amendments, have advanced this idea and identified it in their letters, reminds the representative of Megafona, Julia Dorohin. The company ' s position on this issue has not changed, it notes. Otherwise, according to Dorohina, the question of information security arises: servers that will store subscribers will potentially serve some 20,000 staff, which means there is a strong risk of data leakage. In addition to the storage of information, a whole range of issues should be addressed, adding the representative of the MTS, Dmitri Solodovnikov. There is a need to provide a technical capability to capture this information from the operator ' s systems, develop software to cataloguise the full range of information, and identify what data are worth keeping to meet the objectives of citizen security. The MTS is ready to participate in this work with the Government and the Ministry of Sectoral Affairs. The representatives of Vampelcoma and T2 of the CTC Holding ( Tele2) withdrew their comments.
