Press Release Body = RNCOS Research: (http://www.rncos.com/Report/COM37.htm)
Although there was no decline in the demand for CDMA technology enabled mobile
phones in Russian mobile market, the demand of GSM is growing at a record-breaking
speed. In the year 2005 alone, there were 98.7 percent GSM subscribers in Russia.
The constant increase in the demand for wireless services in Russia offers great
growth prospects for both the CDMA as well as GSM technologies.

Ranked 4th in the world, the mobile market in Russia offers enormous scope and
opportunities for value added mobile services. The CDMA Development Group is
anticipated to work in collaboration with the 3G Association for sharing of
information and promoting CDMA2000 in Russia. SkyLink, one of the key players in
CDMA technology, has been able to make its presence felt in the mobile industry in
Russia. However, with CDMA making up for just 0.7% of the overall mobile market in
Russia, there is stiff competition ahead of CDMA to stand before GSM.

As per a recent market research report named, "Russian Mobile Market - An Industry
Insight (2006)" published by RNCOS, "Total subscribers of mobile phones increased to
130mn from 49mn in early 2005. In Moscow alone, till March 2006, about 140 SIM cards
were used per 100 people".

Analysts at RNCOS estimate that the mobile penetration rate in Russia has gone above
89.3% in the recent times. Rapid growth in the mobile penetration rate in the
country signifies that there is a huge potential for both service providers and
handset manufactures.
