Freshtel provides WiMAX in Tula, as well as in the cities of two regions (Tula and Moscow)

Last Sunday (February 21, 2010) Boomburum retold Dmitry Konash (Intel Regional Director for Russia and the CIS), who said this:

In Russia, three mobile operators are currently working with mobile WiMAX technology. These are Yota, Comstar and FreshTel , which last week was launched in four cities near Moscow. We met with the management of the Russian office of FreshTel at the exhibition in Barcelona, ​​and they are extremely pleased with the start of sales. We are talking about the Moscow region, where access to high-speed Internet is expensive, and, as colleagues from FreshTel told us , people in some stores lined up almost from the night, taking turns for modems - this is a completely different price range compared to what are offered by fixed-line operators in these four cities. So I think that FreshTel made the right choice, going to the Moscow region, where competition is less and earnings are higher.

The end of the quote. The source of the quote was that blog post; I even made her peeep-snapshot just in case, so that it would be clearer: I didn’t correct this quotation, except that I dotted “e” and the title “And” in the word “Internet”. But all these changes are formal.

Meanwhile, the above statement also needs a more serious (not in form, but in fact!) Clarification - and I will clarify.

As it is not difficult to see on the coverage map provided on the Freshtel website, this company provides WiMAX really in four cities: in Tula, in Chekhov, in Serpukhov and in Novomoskovsk. However, of these four, only two cities are located in the aforementioned Moscow region: Chekhov and Serpukhov. The other two are located in the Tula region (this is especially evident in relation to Tula itself).

_{Having made this important correction, I additionally also inform (especially for lovers of optimistic, positive news) that this April (which is not long to wait), Soyuz-Telecom will launch mobile WiMAX simultaneously in several regions . The mobility of their Vaimaks is clear from that news, and the April simultaneity and interregional character of their launch is evident from those replicas at the forum in Kanevskaya (the largest village of Krasnodar Territory, in which WiMAX base stations were already mounted on the tower of the local television and radio relay).}
