We assume that in some segments (rural communications) and regional markets (remote districts) we remain monopolists. But there are markets where competition with mobile and alternative fixed-line operators is very high. And these are firstly major Russian cities.

I think we will observe a trend of mobile services replacing fixed-line services (in Russia). This trend would lead to the migration of long-distance traffic from regional fixed-line companies to mobile operators. In addition, competition among regional fixed-line operators for generated long-distance traffic will increase.

You can't assume a cause and effect. In districts that are struggling, this seems to be something that does have promise.

Don’t assume your partner knows about everything you expect in a relationship. Let them know. A relationship should be based on communication, not on assumptions.

While we are connecting rural India with digital highways, we are also working on contents using regional languages to make the technology more meaningful to people.

My father worked in agriculture, and I got to travel round remote rural areas with him and see a bit of the landscape and people.
