31.1.2006 17:15 MSK Internet access only with passport? RUSSIA, Moscow. As of 1 July 2006, people wishing to use the Internet will have to present their passports, while organisations will need proof of registration. The decision on this was passed by the Russian government on 23 January.
The Decision no. 32, approved by the government, concerns «Rights of offering services for the transfer of data». It orders all providers offering access to the Internet to conclude with subscribers a contract including providing identification of the person.
In Internet cafés and other similar places it is unclear how this will regulate the sale of cards offering access to the Internet. However, the general nature of the regulations points to all access to the Internet requiring an agreement, or contract, with the provider.
