Dozhali: MTS still canceled the fee for Internet distribution

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.

Dozhali: MTS still canceled the fee for Internet distribution

Previously, MTS refused to comply with the FAS requirement, explaining that in this case traffic prices for all tariffs would increase. As the press service has now announced, MTS is indeed canceling fees for the distribution of Internet traffic – on tariffs with a prepaid Internet package. The company explained:

In order to create the most comfortable conditions for mobile Internet consumption for subscribers, MTS is eliminating the fee for distributing traffic from smartphones to other devices on tariffs with prepaid traffic packages.

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.
