The program also envisages development of broadband Internet access in hard-to-reach and sparsely populated areas. It is planned to organize access points at a speed of minimum 10 Mbps in localities where 250-500 people live. In addition, access to the Internet will be provided in schools and hospitals.
“New technologies in modern society penetrate into all spheres and branches, creating more and more advantages in work and life. They occupy increasingly greater place in our life", stressed Rustem Khamitov. “The informatization is defined as a priority at the federal level. Earlier this year, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to increase funding of the federal program "Information Society" to almost 114 billion rubles in 2017.”
