The state will no longer directly finance the development of basic communication methods. Since 2026, budget subsidies have been retained only for the Irtea company; other manufacturers (Yadro, Bulat and Natsspectr) were left without state support.
As stated in the explanation of the Ministry of Digital Development, next year Irtea will receive the last 638 million rubles. After this, the company plans to continue developing equipment using natural resources, costs of approximately 0.5. billion rubles per year from 2027 to 2030.
The end of subsidies leads to companies funding their own research and development. This can lead to rising costs and slower technological development.
The authorities intend to switch from direct payments to other instruments. For example, to the formation of guaranteed sunlight at Russian base stations and the creation of incentive standards. [Ведомости]
