Is it possible to extract the essence of the conversation from the operator? Recording telephone conversations mts. DELFI News - The largest news portal in Russian in Estonia

Hello! If you are interested in mobile security issues, then you are in the right place! In my personal blog will be published constantly interesting materials, touching on this difficult topic. Today I will talk about how to get a recording of a telephone conversation. I will also give you tips on mobile security so that no one else can gain access to your confidential data. The material will be completed with a thematic video that I shot especially for you!

I have long been interested in the question of how to get a recording of a telephone conversation from someone else’s mobile phone. No, I didn’t want to hack anyone at all, but I often use my own phone for work, so I want to be sure that no attacker will listen to me. First, I studied the working methods of the special services. It’s much easier for them because they have access to archives mobile operators, which can often record any telephone communication. All archives are raised by court decision, and sometimes without it. Fortunately, if you are an ordinary citizen, no one will be interested in you at such a high level.

If you needed to record a telephone conversation on a Samsung, you had to find some special software. So I went in search of him. First, I studied a large number of different resources on the Internet. I even installed some programs into the mobile phone’s memory and tested them. Alas, it was a complete disappointment! I have never encountered any actually working programs with such hacker functions, but I have come across a lot of scams, Trojans, and viruses.

I also didn’t find a separate telephone set with conversation recording for sale, but I came across an interesting service for Reserve copy required information. It was necessary to install special software on an Android-based mobile phone, and then set up sending information to a remote server. There is located Personal Area user in which all data is collected. You can view them from any mobile device, provided you have access to the World Wide Web.

Now imagine that someone secretly installs the service described above on your smartphone! But it doesn’t matter which service, since similar utility utilities work almost identically. What will happen then? Antiviruses will not react to the situation in any way; there is no malware here. An attacker will be able to obtain any data! Therefore the only one reliable way protection – careful handling of your mobile phone. Try not to hand it over to strangers.

Below you will see a video on setting up the service. Personally, I use it all the time to prevent the irretrievable loss of important data. You never know, because you can lose your phone. The video describes the whole process step by step, you will quickly figure it out! But I don’t recommend installing such software on other people’s phones! It is unlikely that if you were the owner of a mobile device, you would like such interference in your personal life.

We have all heard that negotiations on mobile phone may be recorded... Here are some calculations/thoughts on this issue.

Is it possible to build a system that records and stores all conversations of all subscribers of a particular operator?

Equipment mobile network standard GSM allows you to organize recording and listening telephone conversations a specific subscriber - or several dozen subscribers. From this fact, a far-reaching conclusion is often made that operators use such functionality to record and store all conversations of their subscribers over a certain period of time. If a subscriber becomes the object of close attention of the special services, operators can, upon request, provide available recordings of conversations almost six months ago.

Is this real?

To make the calculation, you can take publicly available data on the number of calls in the network of one of the largest Russian operators. This operator serves 51.5 million subscribers, who consume an average of 134 minutes of voice traffic per month - most likely, we are talking only about outgoing calls.

Thus, the total duration of calls of all subscribers in one month will be:

51.50 million x 134 minutes = 6.9 billion minutes

After processing and digitization in a mobile phone, the voice signal in GSM networks transmitted as a digital stream at a speed 9.6 Kbps. Thus, without additional processing, all subscriber calls in one month constitute a fairly significant amount of information:

6.9 billion min x 60 s x 9.6 Kb/s / (8 b/B) = 514 B = 500 TB

Now you can think about how difficult (and expensive) it will be to build and maintain a system that:

1. Records outgoing and incoming conversations of all subscribers within a specific network;
2. Does it quickly enough;
3. Allows you to easily find any conversation (by subscriber ID and date, for example);
4. Allows you to store information for at least three months;
5. Works with switching equipment from any supplier;
6. Does not create significant additional load on signaling and voice channels, switch processors, etc. network equipment, does not affect the network's ability to service calls;
7. Quite reliable - for example, it records at least 99% of conversations;
8. Quite safe - does not allow leakage of confidential information to persons who do not have special permission (sanction of the prosecutor, for example).

What follows from this:

1. All conversations are recorded => The system should not be afraid of the fact that subscribers are mobile. That is, it must take into account that subscribers move between base stations during a conversation, can even move to the service area of another switch, can redirect calls, combine them into conferences, answer several calls simultaneously, and so on;
2. The system works quite quickly => Any post-processing of the voice performed before recording for storage must have time to work “on the fly”;
3. Ability to find what is recorded => The system must be equipped with an index/search mechanism and integrate with the system that stores basic subscriber data - to take into account changes in phone numbers and SIM cards. Data about completed calls should appear in the system without significant delays;
4. Storing the recorded data for three months => Based on the previous calculations, a minimum of 1500 TB of disk space is required (if post-processing of the voice signal is not used);
5. Compatibility with solutions different manufacturers=> A specified interface is required, which is guaranteed to be available from all leading manufacturers of switching equipment;
6. No significant load => You cannot load call processors in switches or channel equipment with uncharacteristic tasks such as voice compression into MP3;
7. Reliability => Redundancy is required for communication channels, power supply and hard drives;
8. Security => A centralized mechanism is needed to manage and control access to recorded information.

To stay updated on movements mobile subscribers and in order to respond adequately to them, the system must connect to switches (and not, say, controllers base stations), since it is the switches that are responsible for all the functionality related to subscriber mobility. A network capable of serving 50 million subscribers will have about 50 average switches.

Now let's see if it is possible to make the system distributed by placing near each MSC not just a storage facility for the primary accumulation of information, but something more intelligent - for example, a node that satisfies all the formulated requirements at once.

First, let's imagine one several possible scenarios for servicing a call from subscriber A to subscriber B.

Scenario 1: Throughout the entire call, subscriber A is in the service area of switch X, and subscriber B is in the service area of switch Y. In this case, the conversation can be recorded on any of the switches of our choice. If a recording is made on both switches, then the result will be two absolutely identical records, and one of them can (and should) be thrown out before storing it in the central storage.

Scenario 2: Throughout the entire call, subscriber A is in the service area of switch X, and subscriber B is in the service area of switch Y, but the call goes through an intermediate switch Z. The scenario is very similar to the previous one, except that there will be three identical copies of the record .

Scenario 3: At the beginning of the conversation, subscriber A is in the service area of switch X, and subscriber B is in the service area of switch Y, and during the conversation they move: subscriber A moves to the service area of switch T, and the subscriber moves to the service area of switch S. In this In this case, the complete recording of the conversation will have to be assembled from parts. There will be four parts in total, and from them it will be possible to assemble two complete copies of the recording in four possible ways.

If you have the honor that during a call both subscribers can use the conference call and call hold services, and there can be more than one intermediate switches (and they can change in the process of moving subscribers), then it becomes clear that in the general case, to collect the full recording a conversation, it is necessary to solve the problem of correlating data from different sources. Similar work is performed by inter-carrier billing systems, the architecture of which can be taken as a starting point for the design of our hypothetical global eavesdropping system. You need to choose between two options:

* Or collect all the accumulated data into some common centralized storage and process it there. This simplifies processing and maintenance, but requires significant computing power in the processing center;
* Or collect in a central storage only metadata about the call (who called, to whom, when) and correlate them in order to understand which parts of the call from which switches will give a complete recording of the conversation. The conversation records themselves can be stored distributedly. The correlation results are used to retrieve parts of a specific conversation from distributed storage. This approach reduces the requirements for computing power in each specific node of the system, but significantly increases its complexity and complicates maintenance and “keeping afloat”.

For further calculations, let's assume that from the point of view of security and ease of maintenance, it is better to store and process information in one central place. But first the data needs to be delivered there.

For simplicity, we assume that the load on the switches is distributed uniformly and continuously. Accordingly, 500 TB of conversations are distributed among 50 switches, and each one accounts for 10 TB of voice traffic per month. To receive such an amount of information, you need to have a channel with the following bandwidth:

10 * 10244 / (3600 s * 24 hours * 30 days) * 8 bits per byte
= 4241943 bps
= 32 megabits per second

In total, we include 50 such channels in the estimate.

How many hard drives will you need? From 3000 hard drives of 500 GB to 6000 (if we write everything without pre-processing and record each conversation twice - for the caller and the recipient). Accordingly, the supply is another 150-300 of the same hard drives annually.

In addition, it is necessary to combine such a number of hard drives into an indexed storage with some kind of user access interface. The storage must ensure uninterrupted recording of conversations from all switches (at a speed of 1600 megabits per second), updating “on the fly” search indexes and servicing requests to search and retrieve recorded conversations.

We will not go into details of the possible architecture of such a storage facility now. Let's briefly list everything we've counted so far:

* Media: 3000-6000 hard drives of 500 GB each, or 3 times (roughly) less hard drives, subject to voice compression at 8 kbps mp3 - since the GSM codec already performs voice compression, it will not be possible to achieve greater gains. Naturally, instead of the “saved” hard drives, it is necessary to add processors to perform compression;
* Infrastructure for building 50 communication channels of 32 mbps;
* Servers that provide an interface to the storage and its functioning (indexing, searching for required records, searching and deleting old records, integration with the subscriber management system);
* Power supply and climate control for all equipment;
* Space in server rooms for equipment placement;
* Infrastructure for the operation of the entire system (service personnel, warehouses, logistics...)

It is clear that technically all this is feasible. The only question is economic feasibility.

What self-respecting operator will shell out money for all this “luxury” simply because he was persistently asked for it - given that there will be no return on such investments? As far as I know, there are no laws anywhere that would oblige operators to provide such a “service,” so we can only talk about a “persistent request” from the state or law enforcement agencies, but nothing more.

Which operator has the local technical expertise to build and support a solution of this scale using exclusively its own employees? If you think this is very simple and cost-effective, think about why large telecom operators are not creating their own billing, financial and ERP systems.

Where are the suppliers and manufacturers of such ready-made solutions for those operators who cannot develop similar system on one's own? In the end, information on reality existing systems listening is not a sealed secret - to be convinced of this, just search on the Internet for keywords"SORM" or "lawful interception".

By answering these questions for yourself, you can decide for yourself whether it is possible to create a system that records all conversations on a mobile phone or not.

Telephone conversations - how to protect yourself

Many of us are constantly worried about the problem of whether someone else heard us, is the telephone conversation being recorded? Today, the problem of interception and leakage of information produced through telephone tapping is more acute than ever.

Recording a telephone conversation

This applies to both mobile phones and landlines. Every day, when we put the phone up to our ear and talk on absolutely any topic, we don’t even think that someone might be eavesdropping on us and recording telephone conversations. Meanwhile, to any device cellular communications Even at the stage of its development, the following parameters and capabilities are laid down:

– the ability to quickly detect a subscriber and provide information about him,

– listening and recording telephone conversations, number identification.

And this is only officially known data, and besides this there are many other parameters that no one even knows about.

Today, the recording of conversations carried out from a mobile phone is reaching enormous proportions. What is most interesting is that wiretapping a phone is very easy to do, it does not require large investments and, plus, it is impossible to detect.

It can be said with complete confidence that listening telephone conversations today they are carried out according to at least, special services. Legal activity of any operator mobile communications permitted with license. The license contains a provision for assistance to services in carrying out operational investigative activities. The operator is also required to connect special equipment necessary to monitor conversations, record telephone conversations on a computer, programs for recording telephone conversations and reading electronic SMS messages of its subscribers.

How to protect yourself? Of course, if you are a person open to the whole world and have absolutely nothing to hide, you don’t have to worry and continue to communicate freely using all types of telecommunications. But if you want to protect yourself from wiretapping and recording telephone conversations, then you should put into practice some tips and instructions to prevent information leakage.

– the most radical and effective way is to refuse to use cellular communication services, in which case the problem of phone tapping will disappear by itself;

– you must purchase a phone anonymously, preferably using fictitious data – this will at least make it difficult to determine who is talking;

– when talking on a mobile phone, try to minimize the transfer of confidential information: details, addresses, etc.;

– if you are talking indoors, it would be a good idea to look for bugs - there are ears on the walls too;

- important! it is very difficult to listen to and record conversations that occur while vehicles are moving;

– use effective cell phone jammers;

– if you exchange information via a standard channel, it is also recommended to use personal encryption equipment.

Why you may need to record employee calls:

Monitor the quality of sales managers.
Train new managers using phone records the best managers.
If the manager leaves, all telephone conversations with the client are saved, which can always be listened to.
A recording of a call, if notified that it is being recorded, can be used in legal proceedings.
A call recording can be used to resolve disputes with a client in order to understand whether the manager or the client is “lying.”

There are many ways to record a telephone conversation.

Are subscriber conversations recorded by mobile operators?

But we will be looking at more than just a call recording

The question is different.

How to record calls of your employees and have constant access to call recordings? Make sure that they are not stored on the employee’s phone.

In this case there is following methods record calls:

Record a call directly from a mobile operator's SIM card.
Record a call from a smartphone.
Recording a call in IP telephony.

Recording calls from SIM cards

Just about a year ago, everyone believed that this was the prerogative of the special services. And soon, due to changes in legislation, this will be the norm.

But already now some operators provide convenient services for recording calls without additional equipment. Here Tele2 and Beeline have stood out so far. Moreover, if Tele2 cannot integrate with external systems, for example, with CRM, then Beeline’s service is already more than a year old, and it has acquired convenient functionality.

What you will need:

Cloud PBX Beeline.
Beeline corporate SIM cards.
CRM system integrated with Beeline PBX.

What we get:

In the CRM system, when employees call their SIM card, a card pops up for them to fill out information about the call. If an existing client calls, the client card opens.

No additional equipment is required to record calls.
Beeline has its own virtual PBX with setting up distribution of incoming calls and big amount other advantages.

When recording a call, a notification appears about the recording of the call. Due to the new legislation, Beeline cannot remove it.
Despite the great capabilities of Beeline PBX, it is still inferior in terms of capabilities in some convenient details to such PBXs as Mango, Gravitel, etc.

Record a call from a smartphone.

Recording calls from a smartphone is not a tricky matter. But how to record it so that it is systematized and have constant access to employee calls is another question. But there are solutions for this too.

There are services that allow you to install an application on your smartphone that will record calls and transfer them to a server, where they will be systematized and, if necessary, transferred to the CRM system.

Firstly, in this case, immediately forget about recording calls on your iPhone. Apple is generally against recording calls, so the only way to record calls on iPhone, these are all kinds of services that transfer your call for recording, either using a conference call or some other way. There is no talk of any convenient service. There is, of course, a hacking option (gilbreak), which we do not recommend. But even there you won’t get a convenient service.

But on Android there are very convenient services.

How do they work?

The application is installed on the phone. It's in background records all calls on your smartphone and sends them over the Internet to the service server, where you can listen to them. A this service can be integrated with a CRM system.

What you will need:

Call recording service (paid monthly at 150 rubles per employee).
Smartphones on operating system Android.
CRM system integrated with the service.

What we get:

In the CRM system, when employees call their phone, a card pops up to fill out information about the call. If an existing client calls, the client card opens.

All calls to the SIM card are recorded and stored on the server, where they can be listened to and downloaded at any time.

Customer calls are displayed in the customer card in the CRM system and are linked to the client. All calls can be listened to and downloaded through the CRM system.

Call analytics in the CRM system and call recording service.

Independence from the telecom operator.
There is no mandatory notification about call recording.
Good filter settings for filtering phones from which calls should not be recorded.
Convenient service with analytics.
Employees' calls are recorded wherever they are.
To store calls, you can connect Yandex or Google Drive and greatly reduce the price of storage.

Phones on which calls are recorded are discharged 1.5-2 times faster.
The transfer of call records and the speed at which the card appears in the CRM system depend on the speed of the Internet.
On each smartphone, you need to configure the application so that certain settings do not interfere with stable call recording.
Works only on Android.

IP telephony

With IP telephony everything is simple. Calls are recorded almost by default. But in IP telephony it is extremely rare to find a convenient service with analytics for listening to calls. More often this is a regular list of calls and a filter.

There are several nuances that are worth paying attention to.

In the case of IP telephony, your managers are mainly connected to the workplace, or rather to a computer headset, or to a radiotelephone with IP telephony.

However, some operators provide the opportunity to take SIM cards completely connected with IP telephony. The principle of their operation can be compared to radiotelephone handsets, where SIM cards are handsets, and the base itself is a virtual PBX.

In this case, your employees can use IP telephony not only near their workplace.

What you will need:

Virtual PBX.
Communication means: headset, handset with the ability to configure it for IP telephony, phones with IP telephony SIM cards.
CRM system integrated with virtual PBX.

What we get:

In the CRM system, the employee (to whom the call was forwarded) incoming call A card pops up to fill in information about the call. If an existing client calls, the client card opens.

All calls to an incoming number are recorded, all outgoing calls from IP telephony are recorded. Calls are stored on the server, where they can be listened to and downloaded at any time.

Customer calls are displayed in the customer card in the CRM system and are linked to the client. All calls can be listened to and downloaded through the CRM system.

Analytics on calls in the CRM system.

Powerful incoming call distribution settings.
Favorable calls to landline numbers.
No additional equipment is required to record calls.

Dependency of communication on the Internet.
Per-minute payment for communication, as a result, one of the most expensive communication options.
Unprofitable mobile communications in Russia.
Expensive SIM cards. related to IP telephony.

To summarize:

If your employees do not work in one place, then there is a very good solution for you in the form of a Beeline PBX and a convenient option with IP telephony SIM cards.

If your managers sit in the office most of the time, then all three options are good, and it depends on which advantages are more important to you and which disadvantages are less critical.

Do you want to control the quality of communication of your employees? Leave your contact details and we will contact you:

Today a lot of conversations are conducted using telephone communication. Are telephone conversations recorded from a cell phone? Yes, all conversations are recorded by operators using a special device and the recordings are stored for about 5 years; in some cases, if it is necessary to solve a crime, the recordings can be listened to by employees.

In my blog about mobile security, I will talk about whether it is possible to record telephone conversations of MTS or other telecom operators? Have you ever wondered how likely it is that confidential information will be stolen from your mobile phone?

Can a stranger tell you special application, recording conversations and gaining access to personal correspondence? At the very end of the article you will find a link to a useful video. To record telephone conversations, MTS would need special program, so I went in search of her. I had to review a lot of resources on the Internet. It turns out that there are simply no real working applications with such functions! All of them are banal scams, and some also spread viruses! Therefore, think several times before downloading something like this.

It is fraught with unpleasant consequences.

Telecom operators will not have to store telephone conversations for three years

The second type of program that piqued my interest was backup applications. This would be useful in case the handset is lost. Then you can restore contacts, correspondence, and recorded dialogues.

I came across a wonderful service that does this perfectly. First, you will need to download and install a special application on your mobile phone that collects data and then archives it. Conversations are saved via audio recording, like all correspondence. Then everything is sent to a separate website where the user’s personal account is located.

All that remains is to view its contents from time to time. I used for this various devices, including a laptop, second smartphone, tablet.

By recording MTS telephone conversations from your smartphone, you can always listen to them again. It is especially useful for people who constantly conduct official correspondence or communicate with work colleagues. I liked it too user-friendly interface programs. It allows you to save all information from SMS and MMS messages, from Facebook, VKontakte (official client and Kate Mobile), Twitter, Odnoklassniki, WhatsApp, Viber, as well as from many other applications. A true all-rounder!

The application itself can also be configured to work over Wi-Fi, which will allow you not to waste precious 3G traffic. It's time to think about what will happen if a stranger installs such software on my mobile phone?

And it doesn’t matter which one! Backup services are not blocked by antiviruses, since there is nothing malicious in their code. There is also an option to hide the shortcut, and additional protection against deletion will prevent you from quickly clearing the application from the smartphone’s memory. That's why best advice– be careful with your phone! It should not be left unattended, nor should it be passed on to strangers.

As for the service described above, you will find the entire process of installing and configuring the software at the link below. I recorded that video especially for you! But do not forget that such programs should not be installed on other people's mobile phones. After all, their owners won’t like it!

Almanac Domongol 2 is here. Employers can use your corporate phone for secret wiretapping Photo: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you're not being watched. It may well be that all your conversations on your company phone are being recorded by your company's security team. And given some of the services offered by cellular operators, it may turn out that the employer is not only listening to your conversations, but also monitoring where you are.

Recently two players big three» - MTS and MegaFon have joined forces to work on services with which corporate clients can access the location of their employees. A similar service is also included in the Beeline package of offers. Except mobile operators similar services are provided by third party companies. As a rule, the main clientele of such services is courier services and taxi companies that need to control the movement of vehicles and personnel to optimize operations. The benefit of such an option, provided directly by the telecom operator, is that its connections do not require concluding additional contracts and purchasing equipment: it can be “connected” to an existing corporate agreement for the provision of communication services.

Online calls or how to call for free via the Internet.

Today the telephone is almost a constant companion of any person. It makes it possible to constantly keep in touch with family, friends, work colleagues, and business partners.

It became known how long operators will store call recordings and correspondence

However, calls to phones different operators and on landlines can be quite expensive and limit your communication options. Our online service offers an excellent alternative, which allows you to make free calls via the Internet to almost any country in the world.

Wide range of free communication opportunities.

The call.online service uses IP telephony technology to provide communication services to its users. This technology has the widest application today. It provides a convenient opportunity to make calls via the Internet with enough high quality communications are completely free.

Today, making calls over the Internet is possible using various applications. The most famous of these programs is Skype. However, these applications are most often used only for communication between computers or mobile devices connected to the Internet. Calls to phones via Skype and similar programs are rarely made, since these services are paid. At the same time, communication between computers cannot always replace traditional telephone communication. It does not allow you to maintain contact with subscribers who are currently offline. Using a telephone, you can contact a person almost at any time. This is precisely the opportunity our service offers its users.

We wish you pleasant communication!

The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications presented draft requirements for telecom operators and Internet companies to implement the Yarovaya Law. Telephone conversations of Russians will be recorded for six months, and the volume of stored Internet traffic may already reach 30 exabytes in 2018. The updated requirements only slightly reduce the forecast for costs, which in the case of telecom operators may exceed company revenues.

The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications on Friday evening published draft by-laws clarifying the provisions of amendments to the law “On Communications” introduced by the “anti-terrorist package” of deputy Irina Yarovaya and senator Viktor Ozerov. Despite the expectations of telecom operators and Internet companies, the terms and volumes of storage of telephone conversations and traffic of Russians remained virtually unchanged.

Telecom operators providing intra-zonal, long-distance and international telephone services will be required to store voice information and text messages users up to six months.

Internet traffic storage volumes will depend on the channel capacity of telecom operators. So, from July 1, 2018, they want to oblige companies to store 1 petabyte (PB) for every 1 Gbit/sec. capacity of the communication center, and from January 1, 2019 this value should increase to 2 PB.

Operators will be able to both store information on their own equipment and rent it from each other, providing authorized government agencies, that is, the FSB, with 24/7 remote access to the storage. According to the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, the regulation will affect up to 10 thousand telecom operators. Public discussion of the project will last until January 27, 2017.

Nowadays, many operators do not explicitly disclose data on their network capacity, but large market participants periodically report records. Thus, in January 2013, Rostelecom reported that the throughput of client connections to backbone network IP MPLS increased to 3.5 Tbit/s.

The MegaFon website says that the capacity of the transport network exceeds 1.5 Tbit/sec.

Is it possible to record a telephone conversation without the consent of the interlocutor?

The VimpelCom blog on the Habrahabr resource mentioned that the throughput of the operator’s backbone network exceeds 8 Tbit/sec. According to a former technical specialist from one of the Big Three operators, the total capacity of the networks of all telecom operators in Russia can be at least 30 Tbit/s, which means that in 2018 they will have to store about 30 exabytes (EB) of traffic, s. and in 2019 - 60 EB.

MegaFon representative Yulia Dorokhina notes that “based on network capacity, for example, the total capacity of the networks of all telecom operators in Russia can be at least 30 Tbit/sec., from 2018 MegaFon will need to store 150-200 PB, and since 2019 - already 300−400 PB.”

“This approach very slightly reduces the forecast that we gave when calculating the costs of implementing the Yarovaya Law.” The costs themselves will be higher than the company’s annual revenue,” says Ms. Dorokhina. At the same time, draft regulations, according to her, were once again prepared without discussion with the industry. MTS and VimpelCom declined to comment; a representative of Rostelecom did not respond to Kommersant’s request. Previously " big three" and Tele2 estimated the total costs of implementing the Yarovaya Law at 2.2 trillion rubles.

Significant costs will also be incurred by the organizers of the dissemination of information, that is, the owners of Internet platforms that allow sending emails. They will have to store all traffic of Russians, including voice and text information, video, up to six months, and metadata, that is, the facts of receiving and transmitting messages between users, for one year.

According to the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, business will need 1.2 trillion rubles to create the necessary infrastructure, which will have to be invested, among other things, in the construction of new data centers. At the end of 2015, the number of server racks in Russian data centers amounted to 27.8 thousand, according to iKS-Consulting data. By 2018, to implement the requirements of the law, their number will need to be doubled, states the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications.
