While the basic products segment of the Russian mobile market has nearly reached its primarily saturation, Telecom operators are starting to look for new service options to maintain their growth in the future.
As a clear reflection of this trend, two Russian mobile carriers made their bids for obtaining WiMAX frequencies. Recently, Russian telecoms regulating authority issued a WiMAX license to the second largest mobile operator in the country - Vimpecom. So, Vimplecom received frequencies in 34 Russian cities. Vimpelcom has also requested an extension of the primary frequencies license.
At the same time, Megafon has also made a bid for the WiMAX license.
