    1 SUCCEEDING IN THE RUSSIAN TELECOMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT The Feb 27, 2001 (p. 11) edition of the St. Petersburg Times included a startling story titled “End of the Road for PeterStar?” The story seemed curious since just the day before it was announced in the media that Mr. Sergei Kuznetsov, general director of PeterStar had been made the acting general director of Rostelecom pending almost certain share approval from the shareholders at their meeting scheduled for March 11, 2001. ZAO PeterStar was founded in October 1992 at the dawn of the emergence of the free markets and Perestroika in Russia. PeterStar was formed with the participation of Leningrad City Telephone Network2. Before 1992 all communication services in Russia were controlled directly by the Ministry of Communications without making any distinction between postal services, TV and radio broadcasting and telecommunications. In 1992, the government split up these three sectors while the whole telecommunications sector was restructured, 79 regional telephone companies which provide local services, six local trunk network operators which provide toll switching and one long-distance and international services provider Rostelecom were created. In 1992-93, more than 4000 licenses were granted to private operators. These operators have primarily focused on value added services such as digital overlay networks (Sovintel, Comstar, Combellga, PeterStar), cellular services (Moscow Cellular Communications, Mobile TeleSystems, Vympelcom, Delta Telecom, Northwest GSM etc.) and paging services. These licenses were meant to be the pillars on which the new Russian telecommunication industry was to be built. All these players have been helped by the fact that the existing networks did not posses the necessary technical, human and financial resources to satisfy the growing demand for value added services.
