May 9th, Moscow will shut down mobile internet!
How difficult it would be to get through a day without using a mobile phone.
On May 9th, Russian media published an article.
In Moscow and many areas of Russia, the Internet will be shut down on the eve of May 9th. The restriction period will cover Victory Day itself and the two days before for holiday preparations.
The plan to disconnect the Internet on May 9th is also in effect in many other regions. For example, in the suburbs, Mordovia, St. Petersburg, Tula, Tver, and Yaroslavl regions.
It must be understood that the restriction of the Internet means that any service related to the Internet results will still work, but this applies only to mobile Internet. As for wired Internet, it continues to operate and works fine.
Delivery personnel and taxi drivers may encounter difficulties during this period. It will be hard for employees and customers to use relevant mobile applications if there are no nearby fixed Wi-Fi points.
Ordering a taxi via mobile Internet won't work, and taxi drivers won't be able to receive orders normally because orders come through mobile Internet.
However, for navigation, such as using maps with address-related Wi-Fi databases in Moscow, it works well.
If we talk about online banking, for example, making payments through terminals, it works fine in some institutions. But paying for products or services via QR codes won't work.
I can't imagine how to get through a day without looking at my phone!?
