Rossvyaznadzor: A small agency with broad powers

A few days ago, the Federal Service for Supervision in the field of communications celebrated its first anniversary. Even the very existence of this organization to the general public is not known, although the professionalism of similar structures throughout the world depends our health and safety. It is not clear what and who is not satisfied with the former name of "Gossvyaznadzor, but indiscriminate process of reforming the Russian telecom administration has not bypassed, and the agency.

Public agency with the name ending in "... supervision" is unpleasant associations. Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance, Rospozhnadzor and others like them, at best perceived as punitive bodies in the service administration, and at worst - as a costly but effective tool of influence on "without understanding" of a competitor. As far as this opinion is true - not for us to judge, even the most common opinion can be wrong. For example, few people know that not all inspectors are the traffic police take bribes.

An impressive list of features Rossvyaznadzor includes more than a dozen points. It is assumed that none of the telecommunications network and no radio transmitters in the country should not be overlooked that organization. In the central and regional offices are working three and a half thousand people that the scale of Russia quite a bit. Especially given the vast territory of our country and an incredible amount of communication networks, radio stations, phones and other transmitting devices. All this variety of network and radio industry should be monitored. And it is constantly monitored in a planned manner, and selectively direct or "crooked" orders.

Compliance with electromagnetic radiation - especially caring Rossvyaznadzor. Suspecting grocery trade stale sausage we rush to call the Sanitary supervision and disease, and where to call if the roof grew suspicious antennas? As a rule - no need to call anywhere. None of the transmitting station of cellular communication will not work without the meticulous checks and approvals Rossvyaznadzor. Otherwise - large fines and other troubles, up to revocation and the trial. Incidentally, the license shall be canceled and indeed trials are a regular occurrence, with a list and brief summary of recent cases is available at the Ministry of Communication. There are also amusing incidents. For example, residents of one of the suburban villages have written a complaint about the sharp decline in milk production from local Burenok, "pest" was declared a newly built tower with antennas.In Rossvyaznadzor verified complaint and recommended to apply to the vet - to a new station has not even been connected to the power cable.

Distribution and proper use of frequency resources - the eternal headache. Moreover, as the offender may well be a private person. It would seem that someone can prevent imported from Asian countries, "the super-long-range" phone? It turns out that even as you can! Moreover, the handset is a powerful device can emit ten times stronger than the norm, so also in the "others" frequencies. And if you talk on the phone this score airfield manager talks with the crew of the plane?

Mobile communications - is another important area. Although this is an area Rossvyaznadzor activity causes the greatest number of complaints and suspicions of bias. In the radio have long been close, operators are strictly "cut" bands of frequencies. Unauthorized seizure of the neighboring frequency of "territory" is not allowed to be affected other systems. Violations are recorded and promptly eliminated - with Rossvyaznadzor prefer not to quarrel.

Sometimes it's a reputable agency loses one of its difficult, but these are vital for the state functions. Today, few remember that just a few years ago, any mobile phone must be registered in the State Communications, a special permit and present it upon request of law enforcement officers. So shpieny and other enemies of the people could not uncontrolled use mobile communications. Unfortunately, the exact number of captured enemy agents in this way It is not known. On the other hand were well known to police standard rates for freedom from administrative responsibility for the inconsiderate way out of the house without a permit. Feeder was noble: when he saw on the street talking on the phone a man police rushed to the potential "client" and sternly demanded, "show". And he was spitting on an interrupted conversation, the country's security is more important. In the end this unbridled idiocy was canceled, but millions of permissions turned into cute souvenirs. Sorry thrown on the forms-processing-bribe-negotiation of many millions of dollars, but there is something to remember the anniversary of the radical renewal of the former State Communications.
