The State and the Internet: Emergence of New Institutions

Государство и интернет: появились новые институты.
18 апреля 2012 года.

PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA DMITRY MEDVEDEV: Friends, I want first of all to welcome everyone taking part in the Russian Internet Forum and the Internet and Business Conference. Your annual meetings are among the major events in the Russian internet's life.

The Russian internet has plenty to be proud of. Its development is very dynamic. You all know that, going by last year's results, the .ru domain was No. 4 in the world ranking of national domains, and Russia was the European leader in terms of number of internet users, above all thanks to the increase in users in the regions, which is very positive to see.

Of course, all of this increases demand for online projects, especially commercial projects. This is also one of the forum's main themes. People from all social and age groups, from schoolchildren to senior citizens, are internet business clients today. Millions of people in Russia use the internet to buy goods, train and plane tickets, book hotels, and order various services. This all seemed just a fantasy not so long ago.

But most important of all is that this is genuinely making people's lives more convenient. The state authorities therefore must ensure the right conditions for online business to continue its development, all the more so as this is a sector that does not require huge investment. Even as the world went through an economic crisis, this sector stayed very stable. Its development prospects on the internet market will depend above all on the project creators' continued effort and creativity. This is an excellent opportunity for young people to try their hand at business. In fact, training people for the IT sector is another of the themes this internet forum is addressing.
