Yes, they stated that they can confiscate *any* wi-fi device now, even though their law "on communications" (straight translation) says wi-fi devices don't need registration.
Mr. Karpov must have hit his head somewhere. He said, *every home wi-fi is a hot-spot and should be registered with a full set of documents, while wi-fi supporting devices can be registered on an individual and only used by this individual*. And yes, he said they'll confiscate it if you give your laptop or cell with wi-fi to anyone else. LOL!!!
Well, the funniest thing is that the head of the governmental agency that controls communications (mass media, personal info protection, giving frequencies ect, read as Russian FCC) is now headed by an engineer-metallurgist by education. I don't think he actually knows laws he needs to protect.
Yes, I agree with fontanka.ru - professional degradation is easy to see. And you know why? Because after soviet union fell apart, Ukrainian specialists went back to Ukraine and now work in EU and USA.

I'm really happy I'm not russian xD I actually pity them greatly, though its hard to notice xD]]>Apr 16th 2008 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/"Yes, I agree with fontanka.ru - professional degradation is easy to see.

Yeah, russians are stupid because all the Ukrainians left to work abroad... as a construction site workers... seriously, i understand your patriotism but think about what you are writing. I am russian but i'm glad i don't live there anymore. Our government is a bunch of corrupt idiots, who failed literacy tests. Democracy? oh yeah.....

this thing with Wifi really sucks, and it's obviously unlawful, but i think only big organizations will register, private users will just ignore all this.

In soviet Russia, laws mean nothing.]]>Apr 16th 2008 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/"Yes, I agree with fontanka.ru - professional degradation is easy to see.

I can understand "blind patriotism", but calling Russians stupid in every single post of yours is plain childish. I feel for all those poor Russians (about 50% of current Ukranian population) that are forced to deal with people like you.]]>Apr 16th 2008 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/Apr 21st 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/Apr 16th 2008 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/15/russia-wants-all-wifi-devices-to-be-registered/Apr 16th 2008 12:15AM
