Russian operator MegaFon showcased LTE technology from Nokia Siemens Networks at the the IX International Investment Forum Sochi 2010, stating that the move “brings us one step closer to commercial LTE rollouts in the country” – although without detailing its plans for service availability. Russian operator Yota claimed an LTE first when it switched on a pilot network in the city of Kazan, although it has been reported that this network was subsequently shut down for technical reasons.
