Thanks for the answer and suggestions!
As you dear, you say there are very few specialists, but still I would like to hear the opinions of other specialists of the Kyrgyz Republic.

And immediately one more question, is all the information found on the Internet can be used for commercial purposes?
In general, what information can be used, it seems to me that there is information open and there is closed information.
What relates to open information and what to closed?

Can all information found on the Internet be used for commercial purposes?

In fact, when it comes to commercial intelligence, it is more focused on working with ORIGINAL sources, and not at all with the Internet, certainly a useful source, but being a SECONDARY source of information.

In general, what information can be used, it seems to me that there is information open and there is closed information.

The information, in commercial intelligence, can be used any - BUT - ACTUAL and relevant, for the simple reason that officially there is NO commercial intelligence - and, accordingly, the company engaged in intelligence - does NOT officially carry it out and does NOT even have it in its staffing table special unit / group / department - which could carry out such activities. Here, the same standards work as, for example, in military intelligence.

Any leak of information about your own intelligence capabilities of the company outside - for all THIRD PARTY participants in market relations will mean that your company is engaged industrial espionage - and nothing else.

What relates to open information and what to closed?

The question is ambiguous, but if very briefly:

- OPEN information - made public and accessible information - WITHOUT any restrictions (for example, all information posted publicly on the Internet);
- CLOSED information - ANY information that is restricted by access by the owner of the information.
