12 MOSCOW- FIRST FULLY WI-FIED HOTEL MARRIOT THE FIRST HOTELS IN EUROPE TO GO TOTALLY WI-FI

13 THE FUTURE The future is in wireless, the next wave of expansion in the Russian IT market will be based on Internet Protocols (IP) facilitating the transfer of voice and data between mobile devices, whether the latest generation of phones, Notebook computers, PDA s or cameras. In fact, Russia's market for mobile content and cellular services could grow approximately 56% from last year to $530 million-$550 million in 2006, the research company J'son & Partners has said.

14 THE OPPORTUNITIES Russian cellular market remains far behind Western European markets when it comes to value-added services -This is where the opportunity lies. Presently too few content providers in Russia to make data services worthwhile for the average user. While there are thousands of companies providing content for cellular phone users in Europe and North America, in Russia there are only 20 to 30 such companies.

15 OPPORTUNITIES Technically, the current cellular network is not able to support a huge stream of data. Russian market is only just beginning to mature sufficiently for users to be interested in high-end services. That is changing. J son & Partners predict that by 2008 Russian operators' revenues from value-added services would reach $1.5 billion, or 25 percent of all revenue.

16 GROWTH As we begin rolling out Wi-Fi in other regions of Russia from our Moscow base, and introduce Wi-Fi in petrol filling stations, railway terminals and large shopping malls the availability of affordable Wi-Fi devices and accessibility to the service is going to spur demand overtaking all predictions.
