   "The Communications and Press Ministry has proposed banning children
    from using Wi-Fi networks in public, potentially making cafes,
    restaurants and other locations providing the service responsible for
    enforcing the law.  An official with the ministry's Federal Mass Media
    Inspection Service, known as Roskomnadzor, said the ban should apply
    to people under 18 years old.  Locations providing Wi-Fi access would
    be held legally responsible for implementing the rule, and failing to
    meet the proposed measure would result in a fine ranging from 20,000
    rubles to 50,000 rubles ($640 to $1,600), Vedomosti reported Thursday."
