Iya Malkina, the official representative of the Eurasian Economic Commission, stated during a briefing that telecom operators in the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union were asked to examine the costs of international roaming. This information was reported by TASS.
During the briefing, it was noted that the commission had issued a formal request to telecommunications operators in the EAEU to assess the pricing structures for international traffic transit services and to consider possible adjustments. This aligns with ongoing discussions about how cross-border mobile services are billed across the union, with a focus on transparency and tariff fairness.
Earlier reporting from Vedomosti discussed potential changes to international cellular roaming arrangements involving Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia, suggesting a pause or revision until 2025. The coverage indicated that the Eurasian Economic Commission is urging mobile operators within the EAEU to establish rules for fair tariffs on the territory of member states by 2025, reduce tariffs for international interconnection services, and implement updated pricing for cellular services for EAEU subscribers. This context underscores a broader push toward harmonized roaming pricing and more affordable cross-border mobile services for residents and travelers within the union, as noted by TASS and other sources.
