Awaiting summarization

Volume~$14
YES chance
DescriptionAdilya Vyaseleva, Deputy Head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia, announced a sharp increase in subscribers' complaints about hidden charges and unfair practices of telecom companies from the beginning of 2026. Following a closed-door meeting with the participation of the Ministry of Communications and Roskomnadzor, the agency issued tough recommendations to operators to adjust controversial tariffs. In case of ignoring these instructions, the antimonopoly service is ready to move to direct sanctions. The bet is on whether the FAS will initiate an official case of antimonopoly law violation or unfair competition against MTS, MegaFon, Bilayn or Tele2 (T2) before the end of summer.
ConditionsYes: if from June 20 to August 31, 2026 inclusive, FAS of Russia officially announces the initiation of a case for violation of antimonopoly legislation or unfair competition against any operator of the "Big Four".No: if from June 20 to August 31, 2026 there will be no official announcements from FAS about the initiation of new cases against cellular operators.
