Against the backdrop of rapid technological progress and deepening interdependence among CIS nations, the creation of a unified digital space has become an urgent priority.

What does the creation of a unified digital space in the CIS region entail? How can telecom operators and vendors find common ground with regulators? And why is an industry association still necessary in an era of global standards?

In this interview, RCC Director General Alexey Borodin and Konstantin Savin — an expert in telecommunications, standardization, and digital technologies—discuss the following key topics:

• The RCC's Mission and Structure: A clear explanation of the Commonwealth's mission and its unique multi-level governance, spanning from the Council of Ministers to specialized expert commissions.

• Tangible Value for Members: Specific examples of the benefits members receive, ranging from the coordination of radio frequency spectrum to influencing international technical standards.

• Current Strategic Focus: The key projects the Commonwealth is concentrating on today.

• Internal Collaboration Mechanisms: How the RCC's internal "workshops"—its working groups and expert commissions—function and reach decisions.

• Global Engagement Strategy: Whether the RCC's approach to global players like GSMA and RIPE is one of competition or partnership.

Alexey Borodin elaborated on the RCC's role as a vital bridge connecting business, technology, and regulators to foster a sustainable communications ecosystem.
