    Comstar - United TeleSystems (a component of AFK Sistema) Armenian
    project - a national telecom network, Comstar-OTS was launched in
    Yerevan with the participation of Russian President Dimitry Medvedev
    and President Serge Sargsian on October 21. According to company
    officials the network will offer WiMax broadband wireless Internet
    service in Yerevan and another 18 cities throughout Armenia. This
    telecommunication system is beneficial to countries like Armenia
    which has difficulty with access to services because of its geographic
    location.

    According to Mediamax, president of Comstar-OTS, Sergey Pridantsev at
    a news conference said that this network is not only unique in Armenia
    but "one of the first telecommunication networks of its kind in the
    world." The company has already invested $4.6 million in Armenia for
    this service.

    According to the company, 24 multisectoral base stations have been
    installed to assure the communication. Airspan Networks Company
    (U.S.) is the supplier of the network equipment. The network is
    intended to provide a full spectrum of telecommunications services to
    both companies and private residences, including services in data
    transfer, digital telecommunication, high-line Internet access,
    organization of corporate networks (IP VPN), etc.

    The company currently has 600 clients and is expected to welcome
    another 400 by the end of the year.

    Comstar is the biggest communication operator in Moscow based on
    financial indicators and subscriber base.
