The National Center for Communications at the State Service for Special Communications wants to collect data on the entire infrastructure of mobile operators and Internet providers in one place. The information is required to be provided by May 1
By May 1 of this year, the National Center for Operational and Technical Management of Electronic Communication Networks under the State Service for Special Communications wants to receive from mobile operators and Internet providers the addresses of their entire infrastructure.
By May 1 of this year, the National Center for Operational and Technical Management of Electronic Communication Networks under the State Service for Special Communications wants to receive from mobile operators and Internet providers the addresses of their entire infrastructure.
According to the Mind publication, this includes main and backup network control centers, switching centers, technical sites, fiber-optic and radio relay lines, and more — in total, tens of thousands of coordinates.
At the same time, the date of May 1 is one of the points of compromise between the National Statistical Office and market participants, because they wanted to receive this data earlier.
The Internet Association of Ukraine, in turn, sees certain risks in such requirements.
«This information is extremely sensitive: its centralized collection in one place allows for the accurate identification of networks on the ground, which makes it potentially useful for destroying enemy infrastructure,» noted Oleksandr Savchuk, Chairman of the Board of InAU.
He also sees risks of another category, because, according to Savchuk, data leaks can cause competitive wars.
«This risk is also worth considering. How the information can be used by competitors, for what corrupt purpose — that’s also a question,» he comments.
Representatives of the National Center for Telecommunications, in turn, gave several reasons why they are seeking the creation of such a database on telecom infrastructure.
The first of these is the need to update operator contacts and data on the availability of their services in populated areas, the second is the creation of an automated system in the interests of the Defense Forces, and the third reason is the need to collect data for analyzing network redundancy.
According to the publication, the parties verbally agreed on the date for submitting such information by May 1, as well as that the NCU would reduce the amount of information requested and create new application forms with less detail — without exact addresses or GPS coordinates.
