Press Release Body = RNCOS Research: (http://www.rncos.com/Report/COM34.htm) The
Russian mobile market is one of the most rapidly growing markets in Europe. In
2001-2004 it grew at an annual average growth rate of 176% but then showed a slower
trend in 2005. The content service market also showed a growth from an amount of USD
99mn in the year 2003 to about $298mn by the end of the year 2004 & $210mn within
the initial three quarters of the year 2005.

The market was more or less stagnant with a moderate growth in 2005. According to
analysts the primary reason for this was the non-availability of sufficient
'personalized' service for mobile users, who want a more exciting content
experience. However, the growth has picked up dramatically in 2006.

In 2006 there is also going to be an expansion of the mobile companies' services
ranging from SMS and MMS, to content service for example ring tones, mobile
Internet, ring tones along with basic services including caller ID and these are
