"The most optimal solution is internet access via low-orbit satellites. Currently, negotiations are underway with OneWeb. In January, we plan to launch a pilot project in collaboration with Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZh). Based on the results, we will decide whether we are satisfied with the quality and tariffs provided. Accordingly, decisions will then be made regarding further scaling," Rostislav Konyashkin assured.
