The original project is planned to be implemented by the Moscow government in conjunction with the Moscow City Radio Broadcasting Network (MGRS). They want to make the so-called “social outlets” on the basis of useless radio dots that are held in almost every apartment, Vedomosti reports .
The social outlet will include not only a radio point, but also a notification speaker, an alarm notification button, as well as a television and Internet port. Moreover, low-speed Internet access will be provided free of charge, as well as eight television and nine radio channels. For a fee, access speed can be increased.
Social outlets will be installed for free in all new buildings and houses after major repairs, and also upon request. Optical fiber will be connected to each such house, Oleg Tarasov, representative of the MGRS, said. According to the decision of the mayor of Luzhkov, by 2015, 1.76 billion rubles will be spent on the project, including 1.52 billion rubles from the budget of Moscow.
MGRS plans to lease channels to other operators if they agree to provide basic services for free, Tarasov said.
