BOSTON, 2012-05-20 23:12 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rostelecom, Russia's largest
telecom operator, which has recently begun expanding operations to include a
vast range of communications services, exploring new technologies, platforms,
tele-payment systems and joint media projects, is also taking on daunting
new-age projects including the placement of live streaming feeds at Russian
polling stations as well as working quickly to expand fiber-optic networks to
the Sochi region, where the 2014 Winter Olympic Games are to take place.
Rostelecom, together with official wire information partner sponsor, ITAR-TASS,
will be officiating, for a select group of US and UK private high net-worth
investors, incubators, VCs, and banks, a series of lectures on Russian telecoms
including its own new media project TASS-TELECOM (www.tasstelecom.ru),
dedicated to report on all subjects related to telecoms in Russia, including
cloud technologies, cellular networks, retail technologies, mass media and
telecom cooperation, Internet expansion, licensing in the telecoms industry,
transport and telecom, new gadgets, security, teleradio, and innovations in the
telecom industry. The company will also present projects for direct investment
from telecoms across Russia, including those owned by parent company
Svyazinvest, which include cell network Skylink, the Russian state postal
service, Southern telecoms, UTK, Giprosvyaz and a vast array of others.
Speakers at the conference provided by Rostelecom and ITAR-TASS will include
Alexei Yeromin, Editor in Chief of TASS-Telecom, Chief Correspondent Kseniya
Ivanova, Stanislav Borodin, Deputy General Director of Southern Telecoms,
several top executives of Rostelecom itself, lead by Alexander Provotorov,
Chairman of the Management Board, President, and member of the corporate
governance and strategy committees. EuraMedia also expects members of the
Ministry of Communications, a close ally of ITAR-TASS and Rostelecom, to be on
hand.
David Reynolds, Media and Telecom equity analyst for the prestigious Jefferies
Group which manages the assets of key high net-worth US investors, who is also
speaking at the conference as well as hosting investors, reacted to this
announcement with great enthusiasm, stating, 'Russia is the fastest growing and
most exciting digital market in Europe.'
Many top investment analysts reiterated his enthusiasm, including VTB, Russia's
largest private bank, where funds analyst Allen Polka said, ' The SE on these
businesses is like 5 or 6. They are tremendously undervalued. I think that
Americans, especially, buy into the hype and are scared of Russia. It's like
they are in this constant Cold War state. That's a major reason for this
absurd devaluation in a market that has everything and is destined to grow
tremendously, as it really has only just gotten started. Still, there is lack
of trust. Russian financial institutions, like VTB, have to and thus do much
more than Western ones to show they are compliant.'
Steve Wozniak, a generally respected tech icon, said, 'I am very excited to
participate the EuraMedia Summit. Considering the current pace of technological
advancement, an exchange of ideas between the US and Russia is critical.' He
advised that 'Innovation is a product of collaboration,' a statement which
applies not only to the tech investment forum but the conference as a whole.
On behalf of ITAR-TASS and tasstelecom, Yeromin, who is generally regarded as
an industry leader and visionary, commented that he 'is proud to be part of
such a prestigious and internationally well-regarded forum that will allow his
agency to showcase both exciting new media projects and the newest cellular and
combined new media-cellular technologies, ripe for foreign investment.' On
behalf of EuraMedia, Director Matthew Goldstein said, 'I am exhilarated by the
fact that such a iconic organizations as ITAR-TASS, Svyazinvest, and Rostelecom
have decided to venture into the world of new media and am honored that they
have chosen our forum as a platform for showcasing and garnering press and
investment support in these forums.'
