Alibaba Group, Megafon, Mail.ru Group and RFPI created AliExpress Russia. The joint venture will become the largest online retailer in Russia, outperforming the competitor from Sberbank, Yandex, VTB and the Russian Post.
Among them, in particular, Metalloinvest and Megafon.
The operator will return to the status of a private company.
In Russia, no equipment has been created to implement the "Yarovoi Law", which came into force on July 1 and obliged telecommunications companies to store mobile and Internet traffic for six months for special services and law enforcement agencies.
"MegaFon" and "VimpelCom" could not agree on who will own the Euroset brand and decided to simply freeze it. But others can not use it.
The company increased capital expenditures. They will then be shifted to the consumers' shoulders.
FAS revealed violations of the "Big Four" mobile operators competition law - the tariff for sending SMS to state-owned banks was set lower than for the rest. Cellular companies must eliminate violations within two weeks.
Russian Internet providers start increasing prices since the summer.
The shareholders signed an agreement on the deal. The combined network will include more than 5,000 stores.
Operators do not want to promote the disgraced messenger.
Perhaps, the deal will be followed by the merger of the retailer with Euroset.
MegaFon will acquire a 50% stake in Euroset from VimpelCom and will own up to 100% of its shares. VimpelCom will buy half of the retail outlets of the chain.
This will happen if MegaFon will accept the offer of VimpelCom.
On Tuesday, March 18 Mail.ru Group announced the acquisition of 11.99% shares of "VKontakte", officially becoming the owner of 51.99% controlling stake in the major Russian social network.
