Russians may be banned from buying more than 20 SIM cards
Russians want to limit the number of SIM cards that can be purchased per passport to 20.
In the State Duma, for the second reading of amendments to the laws on communications and biometrics, it is proposed to introduce a requirement to limit the sale of SIM cards.
The number of SIM cards in smartphones changes little, but the number of SIM cards in surveillance cameras, control devices and other devices is growing, Kommersant writes.
Russian citizens may be limited in the number of SIM cards they can purchase using one passport.
Telecom operators emphasize that there is currently no reason to limit the sale of SIM cards to one person.
They explained that for now 20 SIM cards per passport is the optimal number, given the growth of “smart” devices per person.
