today's article in RBC daily: they report that Scartel will have to postpone launching its
LTE network for half a year underfinancing (lack of investment).

on Scartel , let them launch LTE recently as the first in Russia

Secondly, RBC Daily today quotes the CEO of TelecomDaily (Denis Kuskov), who believes that LTE in Moscow will be the first to launch Rostelecom, and this will take place this spring.
So, before September, Muscovites will not have to wait.
However, only time can show us the real value of these consoling considerations. It is possible, for example, to cynically suspect that Scartel’s refusal from previous intentions would allow other companies to relax a little.
