Home Fi by the norm: The end of the unlimited era? Russia may introduce foreign Internet quotas, not only on smartphones, but also at home. According to Forbes, the Ministry of Digital Development is discussing amendments that will require all traffic from foreign domains to pass through TSPU - special equipment for blocking and filtering. The department will be able to reduce access to those users who exceed the established norm. They want to extend the restrictions to wired internet, where it has always been in effect without absolute restriction. In the spring, the authorities discussed a limit of 15 gigabytes for cellular networks, in the fall - a limit of 50 gigabytes per month and only for 5G networks. Now they want to restrict home Wi-Fi as well. At the same time, foreign traffic is not only viewing foreign websites. This includes Android and iOS updates, downloading apps from the App Store and Google Play, playing games on Steam, and transferring large files via instant messaging. The Ministry of Digital Development confirmed that they are discussing the changes to the laws, but emphasized that the final draft has not yet been drawn up, and the size of the quota has not yet been determined. Experts warn of a technical problem - it is almost impossible to separate foreign traffic from Russian traffic, since many domestic services operate through external servers.
