Russian mobile operator Sky Link, which has a million subscribers concentrated around Moscow, yesterday announced plans to build base stations for a GSM network across much of the rest of the country. Sky Link won licenses in 2007 to provide GSM services in 45 of Russia’s 83 regions, but the company hasn’t yet started operations in these areas. Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent will build the new network, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
