The Ministry of Digital Development expects 3G to stay in large cities until 2025. The transition from 3G in rural areas will start in 2027. Terminals are said to be the biggest 3G shutdown issue. These are both the network operator equipment and customer devices that support the 3G and earlier standards.

 
 MTS says it will take actions following the 3G subscribers withdrawal, and notes that operators are inclined to use the 3G frequencies for actual standards, including the next-generation ones. “We are gradually changing from 3G to LTE, but for now the complete 3G network shutdown is not an option” – MegaFon company says. There is “a large number of working devices in the network with 3G support” - the operator explains. Tele2 is also not ready to announce the shutdown of 3G networks due to difficulties with network equipment availability and the slow replacement of such 3G devices as smartphones and M2M devices, including ATMs, terminals and security systems.

3G Stays in Russian Cities till 2025

According to the Ministry of Digital Development, mobile internet traffic in Russia has decreased for the first time ever. In the second quarter of 2022, the traffic fell by 2.3% to 8.35 billion gigabytes (vs. 8.54 billion gigabytes in the first quarter). Up to that moment, the traffic figures had been growing quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year.

 
 Megafon confirmed the decrease in the mobile internet traffic. MTS did not see the typical growth of traffic from March till May. Tele2 recorded the decrease, but only by 1.6% in Q2.

 
 According to MTS, the traffic decrease is due to foreign Internet resources ban and the exit of foreign companies from Russia. the Ministry of Digital Development also believes the decrease to be related to foreign web services ban in Russia. The ministry notes that the Internet traffic inside Russia has significantly grown and almost replaced the services that left the market.

Ministry of Digital Development: Mobile Internet Traffic Decreased by 2.3%

VK plans to sell the My.Games gaming division, including the studios and gaming products, for 642 million dollars. The buyer is Alexandr Chachava, the managing partner of LETA Capital.

 
 After the acquisition, the founder of My.Games Vladimir Nikolskiy will continue managing the company. VK will develop gaming services under the VK Play brand headed by Vasiliy Maguryan, who has led the VK gaming division for over 8 years.

 
 According to the <a href="https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5582657" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">source</a> of Kommersant, it was the removal of VK apps from AppStore that forced the parties to close the deal. The gaming division generated one third of VK’s revenue. At the end of Q3 of 2021, 77% of sales of My.Games were made outside Russia and the CIS countries, primarily in the USA, Germany and France.

<hr />
 
 The plans of VK to sell My.Games were <a href="https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5283356" target="_blank">announced</a> at the end of March, but the company did not comment on the situation at that time.

VK to Sell My.Games Division for 642 Million Dollars

During the On Software Import Substitution in Industries strategic session Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin noted that there exist domestic analogues of 80% of foreign software. There are one or two analogues for one third of these 80%. “And, most importantly, more than half of the solutions available on the Russian market are of medium or higher maturity level. There is no need to create them from scratch, we just need to enhance and use them,” Mishustin stated.

 
 The government has discovered almost 400 types of corporate software, the imports of which were extremely important for business. Annual spending of companies on licenses, implementation and support of such software is estimated at 200 billion rubles (2.9 billion dollars).

 
 Furthermore, Mikhail Mishustin said, the list of critical infrastructure objects will be expanded. This is necessary for accelerating the switch to Russian software. “We plan to include all key types of systems and applications into the range of critical infrastructure objects. The government will set the deadline for switching to Russian software for each item,” prime minister added.

 
 The session included the discussion of work results of 15 industrial competence centers in mechanical engineering, construction, utilities, pharmaceuticals industry and other areas. The representatives of ministries, state corporations, universities and associations, as well as of Kaspersky Lab, Bellsoft, ER-Telecom, VK, Amethyst Capital and other companies took part in the event.

Skoltech plans to put several 5G base stations with their firmware into commercial operation by the end of the year. They will be operating in the network of one of the operators.

 
 According to Dmitry Lakontsev, head of wireless communications and IoT area of the Skoltech-based NTI Center of Competence, this is the only domestic software solution for base stations. The solution is also compliant with OpenRAN standards.

 
 Skoltech together with MTS, MegaFon, beeline and the Open Net Technologies Association have already completed the first stage of the laboratory testing of the station. During the tests, the download speed was more than 1 Gbps. The 5G base station operated by the software developed by Skoltech was implemented on a hardware platform that consists of servers based on Intel processors. The Foxconn’s solution for 4.8-4.99 GHz band was used as a transceiver. The Russian analogues of this equipment are being developed and will become available on the market in the near future.
