The Russian government has removed "transmission of Internet data with voice information" from the list of licensed communication services, effectively banning calls over the Internet by mobile and landline phones.

Putin knew the problems of VOIP calls. Just look at the US election with polling centers getting bomb threats via the internet. Putin probably ordered those calls to be made.

Well, then you're a lucky man, comrade.

That would be an impressive disruption in most places, I don't know how much VOIP goes on in Russia but it's probably still a lot. Fairly sure whoever came up with this one has no clue what problems that's going to make.

Good to hear.

They also have no clue how to implement such a ban.

Oh, absolutely. But I'm sure they'll mess it up thoroughly and make an even bigger problem.
