Despite quite justified fears of representatives of the telecom market, the Independence Day was quiet in Kiev - massive arson and sabotage on the networks was not.
The principle "knock and you will open" worked, because the experts repeatedly expressed concern over the lack of reaction of the National Police to possible threats. Apparently realizing that telecommunications networks are one of the most important objects of critical infrastructure, they promised to help the police - they kept their word.
True, only in Kiev. During the holidays in Irpen unknown persons damaged the backbone cable in one of the houses in the city center, resulting in more than 1000 households without the Internet and cable television. The provider sees damage to unfair competition, but the problem is much more global.
Law enforcers began to understand that, for example, the removal of servers of a telecommunications company can suspend the work of passport centers, and even traumatize the economy and security of the country.
Of course, near each well of the submachine gunner you can not deliver, but to provide them with security - that same signaling - is quite possible. The main desire. And why is it not for the owners of the CCE.
And the cops want to investigate acts of sabotage on television networks. This is evidenced by the response from the State Unitary Enterprise of Ukraine in Kiev, which we received. As it turned out, the case of the arson of the main networks under the South Bridge has already been closed.
"Based on the results of the pre-trial investigation, the investigators of the investigative department of the Holosiivskyi UPU of the SUIS in Kiev in these criminal proceedings decided to close on the basis of Article 284 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine,".
The police did not even bother to explain the reason for the closure of the criminal proceedings, because in the article of the Code of Criminal Procedure as much as 8 points on which you can close the case - from the absence of violation until the state does not receive the consent of the issuer.
It remains to be hoped that when the law enforcers come to the realization that it's better to pass a patrol by telecompopulation once again and clarify with young people what they are setting fire to, telecomsmen will sleep calmer.
