VimpelCom to bid for Russian 3G license

November 21, 2003

Vimpel Communications announced it will take part in Russia's third generation license auction planned for next year. The firm, Russia's second biggest operator, would trek a cautious path and not follow in the footsteps of other European carriers that paid high sums for 3G licenses, First Vice President Nikolai Pryanishnikov said.

"If we get the 3G license, we will take investment decisions with caution, not in euphoria," Pryanishnikov said.

He said the governments in Europe that decided to cash in on 3G licenses have left certain operators on the blink of crisis. Pryanishnikov does not expect the Russian government to charge enormous fees for the licenses, as did the likes of the UK and Germany.

"I think Russia won't follow the example of some European countries."

Russian Telecommunications Minister Leonid Reiman said the ministry will hold an auction of several 3G licenses in the first quarter of next year but did not specify the number of licenses in the auction.

There are roughly 28 million mobile phone users in Russia with the market dominated by three national operators, MTS, VimpelCom and MegaFon.
