Murmansk Gets Digital

Sevtelecom, the network operator for Murmansk, and AT&T Network Systems International have completed the first phase in a project to deliver voice and data communication services to Murmansk, AT&T's Moscow branch announced Tuesday.


According to information released by the company, the deal is the first step in an $11 million agreement signed last year by Sevtelecom and AT&T-NSI to supply and install digital switches for 26,500 subscriber lines in the Murmansk region.


AT&T was contracted to provide the project with optical cables and lines, digital switches and remote exchanges.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
