KTK Telecom was founded in September 2014 and belongs to certain Boris Pershin and Alexey Rzhanov. Its representatives could not be reached. The company received frequencies in the region for the entire range of services: 2G, 3G and 4G. It will begin work no later than the end of 2016.
The newspaper's interlocutor in the Crimean government believes that KTK Telecom could have been created in the interests of the operator Tattelecom, controlled by the Republic of Tatarstan, which is “ready to work on the peninsula, but seeks to avoid sanctions.”
Tattelecom CEO Lutfulla Shafigullin yesterday refused to comment on development plans in Crimea.
First Deputy Minister of Information and Communications of Crimea Sergei Dotsenko previously told Kommersant that Crimeans often complain about communications: on frequencies that previously served about 1 million people, today 3,5 million subscribers are served.
