“I don’t think that this (pre-installation of Russian software - RT ) will be so infringing on the colleagues that they will make such unprofitable decisions for themselves. They are extremely interested in our market, ”Manturov said in an interview with Izvestia.

Manturov said earlier that his department believes that with the competent organization of the process of preinstalling Russian software (software) on electronic devices, their price will not increase.

The Internet Ombudsman Dmitry Marinichev in an interview with the NSN assessed the consequences of the mandatory pre-installation of Russian software on gadgets.

Starting July 1, 2020, manufacturers of smartphones, computers and TVs with Smart TV technology will have to pre-install software developed in Russia.
