Excuse me... That is, sorry already, All...! === Cut === Daily electronic newspaper "YTPO": LIFE - MGTS FINALLY REFUSED TIME-BASED TELEPHONE PAYMENT Author: Information Department Date: May 15, 2002 - Permanent www-address of the article: [ http://www.utro.ru/articles/2002051517064278074.shtml ] The epic with the introduction of time-based payment for telephone calls in Moscow can be considered completed. The gloomy prospect of having to account for a long ruble for every minute of the conversation, which especially frightened pensioners and Internet users, for a long time disappeared. According to the Kommersant newspaper, at today's press conference MGTS General Director Vladimir Lagutin announced the “suspension of the decision on introduction of time-based payment for local telephone calls by OJSC "Moskovskaya city telephone network." This is a long-standing story; MGTS planned to introduce time payment for telephone calls in Moscow two years ago, and only fierce public resistance, resulting in rallies, forced the company to back down. However, MGTS did not leave any plans to establish a time schedule: introduce Payment was planned in July of this year. But here it came to the defense of citizens Moscow government. At the end of March, Mayor Luzhkov met with the head of AFK Sistema V. Yevtushenkov (and the controlling stake in MGTS isnamely at "System"), at which it was decided not to introduce time-based work. This was preceded by slightly different events: for example, according to Kommersant, on February 15, the mayor’s office promised to form an alternative MGTS telecom operator to serve socially vulnerable segments of the population - that is, no time delay. Thus, less wealthy people will use the services of the new operator, and the wealthier can already afford to switch to cellular communications and high-speed ADSL connections with Internet. Luzhkov, as Kommersant reported, called the introduction of the new system tariffs as a “socially destabilizing factor”. As a visual example, right under the windows of the MGTS central office at 11 Petrovsky Boulevard March a protest rally was held, the main “strike force” of which was veterans. As Ekho Moskvy reports with reference to Interfax news agency, the rally About 250-300 people gathered. Employees of the Moscow telephone office the monopolist could see posters from the windows: “President, where are your promises” and "Luzhkov - don't allow arbitrariness." No red flags or calls to send the chapter MGTS of Vladimir Lagutin also had to resign. Those who watched this During the action, journalists noted that the participants of the rally to the place where it was held were transported by bus. At today's conference, Lagutin said that he would suspend the introductionThe shareholders decided on the time-shares - by agreement with the Moscow government. By according to Mr. Lagutin, the situation can only change if new agreement between MGTS shareholders and the capital government, but for now it doesn't look like it. The General Director stated that “MGTS has never initiated the introduction of periodically, but always carried out someone’s decisions" - at first there was an appropriate resolution of the Central Committee, then the Council of Ministers, then the wishes of the shareholders." However, in Currently, power structures occupy, according to Lagutin, “either a neutral or ambiguous position on the introduction of time-based work."
