"Big Brother" for telecom
I read an article about “banning Skype” and unprecedented activity of Megafon OJSC as an Internet provider on Habré and smiled to myself :) about Megafon, I confess, I don’t know so much, but I assure you that it’s not only Megafon ", But the other operators of the Big Three have long been engaged in the backbone cable Internet. And not only trunk, but also for end users, in apartments.
Everyone knows that VimpelCom OJSC bought Corbin and Golden Telecom . Through Corbin is a black and yellow striped Internet right in the apartment. Between cities and countries, Golden Telecom is quickly operating. Also, Golden does not just hold a backbone network, he is the upstream provider for those who sell the Internet to cable urban networks, accumulating in themselves many 1st-level providers.
Not so clearly, but also, not particularly hiding such things, AFK Sistema , which owns the majority of shares of well-known companies, such as: MTS , Comstar , Stream , MGTS , deals with such things. These guys cover the entire communications market - cellular communications, cable home networks, backbone operator, fixed communications, WiMAX wireless technologies, whatever.
')
In addition to mobile operators, the Scartel group of companies (operating under the Yota brand) left the Russian communications market with a crash, naively believing in the “future technology” - mobile WiMAX. The Synterra group of companies (Peterstar and friends) are already engaged in everything except mobile communications. WiMAX (not only mobile, but also fixed) has become an obsession for many companies that have lined up in the SCR for receiving frequencies.
Telecom operators are cheering and making kulichs in the marketing sandbox while they are being watched from above by OJSC North-West Telecom , OJSC Rostelecom and other companies whose main shareholder is OJSC Svyazinvest . Using an administrative resource for development, for the time being, Svyazinvest only creates the appearance of a market and vivid competition. Give 5 years and we will not notice how it happened that we have one “big brother” left who will provide all communication services at the same time.
