The Ministry of Digital Development’s “white list,” which includes sites and services that continue to operate when the mobile Internet is limited, has already included 900 resources. The head of the department, Maksut Shadayev, said that the list has almost reached its limit: telecom operators cannot support an unlimited number of such resources.

“We must understand that, of course, we have restrictions on the “white list”; it cannot be endless. There are technical restrictions for telecom operators here,” the minister’s statement quotes Interfax.
Shadayev recalled that “white lists” should include services that are most popular among Russian users. According to him, the department is currently working to streamline the “white lists”, while simultaneously changing the technology for selecting resources, since in Russia there are vital services that it would also be desirable to add to this list.
“Now we are trying to streamline this technology a little, because we have services that, perhaps, are not super popular, but are vital, for example, electric gas stations or medical services. Now we are restructuring the approach,” Shadayev said.
This issue was also raised by Anton Nemkin, member of the Digital Russia party project coordinator, who said in June that taking into account the wishes of the population, it is necessary to expand the list of financial, medical and other services available in the “white lists,” they write “Vedomosti”.
