The Ukrainian parliament has recently approved a legislation aimed at improving digital infrastructure and ensuring stable connectivity across the country. Mobile internet will become faster and more reliable, with users having the ability to check its quality themselves. This was announced by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
"We have passed an important bill No. 12094, which will aid in developing digital infrastructure and providing uninterrupted communication for all Ukrainians," the announcement stated.
"Internet speed will be a mandatory quality indicator. A minimum speed in megabits per second will be established, and mobile operators will offer services according to this standard," it was noted in the statement.
Ukrainians will be able to independently verify the quality of mobile internet via their smartphones. Information regarding quality and speed will be relayed to the NKEC regulator for analysis.
"This will help identify weak spots in the network and respond quickly to issues. We will announce the quality monitoring system for mobile internet later," the ministry added.
The moratorium on checking license compliance will be lifted. This will encourage operators to build base stations in rural areas to reduce zones without coverage, the ministry emphasizes.
National roaming will remain operational even after the state of war ends. Ukrainians will continue to access other operators' networks to maintain communication during crisis situations, the announcement highlighted.
"We hope the President will sign this bill soon. We are working to ensure that every Ukrainian has access to quality communication and internet, even in the most remote parts of the country," the ministry concluded.
