First, I think it is good to know, since we don't have a chapter there.

I heard that ISOC will be present on an upcoming conference in Moscow
and I think we might want to present our position there and probably to
gain some ground to carry out ISOC's mission in Russia.

Besides that I think this case is worth watching since I can imagine
there are many other countries following the same pattern, for example
ex-Soviet countries in Central Asia, where there is still one
telecommunications company and some people hardly imagine that one might
need more than one.
