 In turn, Tele2 clarified that in 2021 the demand for its smart home devices increased by 24% year-on-year. The most in-demand were video surveillance systems, set-top boxes and smart speakers. The latter, according to the company's forecasts, will gain popularity as voice assistants develop, but the leadership will remain with the smartphone.

 
 MTS reported that in the third quarter of 2021, their customers purchased four times more smart devices in the company's showrooms and online stores compared to the same period in 2020. Outlets, light bulbs, and home control centers were the best sellers in this category. Also in demand were humidity and temperature sensors, robotic vacuum cleaners and IP cameras.

Telecom Operators See Growing Demand for Smart Home Devices in 2021

Forbes

Sberbank, Yandex and VK Group are the best Employers of 2021 in IT, According to Forbes

Telecom operator MegaFon and Moscow-based private equity company Kismet Capital Group have agreed to create an independent tower infrastructure operator on the basis of Tower One (subsidiary of MegaFon) and Vertical (operator controlled by Kismet Capital Group).

 
 The new structure will unite 17 thousand towers and support structures of the Tower One, as well as more than 5 thousand Vertical’s facilities, and may become the largest independent player with more than 22 thousand towers.

 
 MegaFon's share in the merged company will be 25%. Kismet Capital Group will receive more than 65% and will have five out of seven representatives on the board of directors (the remaining two will be for MegaFon). It is assumed that neither MegaFon nor any other telecom operator will be able to gain control over the new structure. Еhe deal will be closed presumably by the end of 2021.

 
 As Forbes previously <a href="https://www.forbes.ru/tehnologii/436635-vertikal-ivana-tavrina-i-megafon-vyvedut-na-amerikanskuyu-birzhu-obedinennuyu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">reported</a>, that Tower One and Vertical were planning to create an independent company that will go public on the American stock exchange.

MegaFon Transfers its Tower Assets to an Independent Operator

The ministry plans to reduce the number of fraudulent calls by 50% by the end of next year, as well as block up to 80% of fraudulent resources within 24 hours.

 
 As the ministry clarified, in order to achieve these goals, they intend to automate the collection, analysis and transmission of information to authorized bodies to make a decision on the subsequent blocking of phishing sites. “We must learn to very quickly block phishing sites: a day is the maximum period, ideally the work should take six to eight hours,” the Minister of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev said.

 
 Data collection will be carried out by the ministry. Russian companies in the field of cybersecurity will also be involved in the action. In addition, the operators' antispam systems will exchange data on the numbers used by fraudsters. In this case, the time for blocking a single phone number will be significantly reduced.

 
 Tele2 said that at the beginning of 2020, they have already implemented an "anti-fraud platform to combat spoofed numbers that are used by fraudsters to deceive bank customers." A similar MTS system daily blocks more than 60 thousand attempts to make calls from a dummy number. MegaFon blocks potentially fraudulent calls with the substitution of bank numbers according to the Central Bank lists.
