International roaming may be reduced during the first European Games which will be held in Baku in June 2015.

The Azerbaijani Ministry of Communications and High Technologies is preparing proposals to reduce the cost of roaming. The issue was discussed at the ministry during a meeting of the managing committee on the preparation for the games, the ministry said.

Ali Abbasov, the Minister of Communications and High Technologies, said the issue of reducing roaming rates between Azerbaijan and Russia will soon find a positive resolution, and noted the importance of solving this issue with other countries.

Abbasov instructed public and private entities to do everything necessary to ensure the sustainability and quality of the telecommunications infrastructure at the highest level during the games. Azerbaijan's network telecommunications infrastructure will undergo a thorough testing for information security and resistance to cyber attacks. The registration of the participants' mobile devices, supply of internet services in places where the games will be held, and other issues were also discussed at the meeting. Contracts with contractors who will be involved in organizing services and supporting this event will be signed in the next few weeks.

Abbasov also noted the significance of the accurate distribution of responsibilities between the customer and the performer.
