Modern Challenges and Prospects for information and communication technologies development in Russia

Abstract

This study analyzes the volume of data transmitted through fixed and mobile networks between 2011 and 2022. It was found that during this period, the volume of data transmitted via fixed networks increased by 10.5 times, while data through mobile networks grew by 152 times. The most significant growth was observed in the mobile network segment, driven by technological advancements and the increasing number of mobile internet users. The study highlights that the growth in data volumes creates opportunities for telecom operators and digital solution developers, including infrastructure development and new digital services. However, this growth also poses challenges such as network strain, the need for investment in new technologies, and heightened risks related to data security and digital inequality. The findings are important for assessing current trends in telecommunications and planning future infrastructure development.
