It is specified that other investors are also interested in buying this asset.
“There are other applicants for the operator ... and USM itself has already begun restructuring telecommunications assets,” the material says.
At the same time, a source close to USM specified that people have been interested in buying MegaFon for several years now and proposals are being considered, but all the details depend on “specific conditions”.
