<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Eric,<br>
some bad news from Russia.<br>
Yesterday one of the largest cell operator in Russia - MTC- have sent a<br>
proposal to the ministry of communications. The idea of the proposal<br>
is to issue a special licenses for Skype and Google for their VoIP<br>
services and collect money from these companies for VoIP services.<br>
You can translate this information from Russian on<br>

As you understand, lot of countries, who have signed well known ITRs,<br>
have similar approaches with Russia, and can implement Russian practice.<o:p></o:p></p>
