Russian communications satellites in low orbit abroad will be under the control of local security forces.
The low-orbit communications group created by Russia, when used by foreign partners, will be under the control of local law enforcement agencies, Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Bakanov said at a meeting with heads of foreign missions in Moscow. "We are creating our own segment in a low lane of broadband Internet access, we invite all countries to connect to it, because the basic difference of our system is complete information security through the creation of stations and segments in your countries that will be controlled only by your law enforcement authorities," he said.
