IN THE PAPERS [PRESS/RU]:
Vedomosti reports that Russian state oil major Rosneft
(ROSN.MM) is in talks with NLMK's (NLMK.MM) owner Vladimir Lisin
over a $200-400 million acquisition of ChernomorNeftegaz which
has rights to develop offshore deposits in the Black Sea.
Four Russian telecoms operators -- Rostelecom (RTKM.MM), MTS
(MBT.N), Vimpelcom (VIP.N) and MegaFon -- suggested current
third- and second-generation networks should not be used for the
fourth-generation network development, meaning smaller rivals
such as Nordic carrier Tele2 (TEL2b.ST) may end up without 4G
networks as undistributed spectrum is not enough to share among
more than four companies, Kommersant writes.
