Risky Bulletin: Russia will revoke licenses for unruly ISPs
Russia is proposing stricter regulations for internet service providers that include higher license fees, increased minimum capital requirements, and mandatory installation of FSB traffic monitoring equipment called SORM. The new rules would allow the Ministry of Digital Development to revoke licenses without court oversight for non-compliance, effectively targeting smaller neighborhood ISPs.
Why it matters: ISPs operating in Russia or with Russian operations face potential license revocation and forced deployment of state surveillance infrastructure; practitioners should monitor implications for international connectivity, data localization, and compliance obligations.
