- Judging by the article, if you make another clone of a successful Western project, you can get under the wing of Gazprom :)
update. I want to clarify the essence of the paragraph above.
My imkho is that judging by "
According to Kommersant, in 2007 Gazprom Media will spend $ 5 million on acquiring Internet projects, and it is planned to allocate a hundred million dollars to acquisitions in 2008. " attention is that broadband access to the Internet still does not roam around our country, then it’s really difficult to bring into RuNet something really new, interesting and informative.
then again IMHO, it is easier to make a similarity / clone of a successful Western model, of course, taking into account Russian realities. and sell :) in order to secure a normal retirement.
