Experts warn of disconnection of millions of corporate numbers from December 1

According to Kommersant, referring to experts, mainly small and medium-sized businesses will be hit, although their representatives are not yet aware of the risks of shutdown.

Recall that from June 1 of this year, according to the law "On Communications", the Unified Identification and Authentication System (ESIA, used on the portal of public services) needs to enter the data of new corporate subscribers into the ESIA, and users of existing SIM cards must be registered up to 1 December. If this is not done, the work of telephone numbers will stop.

To date, more than half of the corporate clients of mobile operators are not included in the register, says Konstantin Ankilov, general director of TMT Consulting. There are now about 32 million corporate SIM cards in Russia.

However, the difficulty lies in the fact that not all B2B clients of telecom operators are registered on the portal of public services, and many of them are not aware of the fact that they are facing a shutdown.

Filed by the Ministry of Digital Science, registration takes place "on schedule", and corporate clients receive from the department "a reminder of the need to submit information". The ministry also indicated that they sent corresponding SMS reminders to all corporate numbers.

We will remind, in March it became known that telecom operators will be obliged to provide Roskomnadzor with data on subscribers, access to which only operators or law enforcement agencies had access. Data will be transmitted about who called whom and from what devices. Earlier, the Ministry of Digital Industry developed a bill that would allow the Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB and FSO to receive data from mobile operators on the volume of services provided, their cost and geolocation of subscribers without a court decision.
