User Registration rules expected for Moscow DID

Various government agencies in Russia had emergency sessions following the terrorist acts in Mosscow earlier today. In connection with the tragic events in Moscow this morning claiming the lives of many people, the Communication ministry, Immigration ministry and various special law-enforcement agencies will be conducting a review of all telco carriers, fixed and mobile.

Much stricter requirements are expected to take effect immediately regarding DID number registrations. During the course of massive, industry-wide investigation, CLECs and alternative carriers might be asked for subscriber data in an urgent, non-court fashion.

We have been notified that readiness to provide complete and true data to law enforcement officers is essential to prevent potential problems. We expect that users may be asked to provide:

- Full customer name and email address
- Address
- A scan of photo ID and/or proof of address may be requested
