The new series of payment profiles consists of 4 options to cover the whole range of subscriber demands. Now, apart from no-subscription-fee payment profiles featuring fixed traffic volume, COMSTAR-UTS offers unlimited payment profiles for their users. In particular, they launch an unlimited WiMAX Internet access payment profile at a monthly subscription fee of 690 rubles, and an ADSL fixed Internet access at a data rate of 6 Mbps with an unlimited WiMAX access for all MTS STREAM subscribers at a monthly subscription fee of 790 rubles.

“Today our users want to get complex wireline and wireless Internet access services for 700 to 800 rubles per month. It is this type of offer that we launch on our Moscow market. Our subscribers may use wireline access for intensive Internet activities and downloading heavy-traffic content at home, while using COMSTAR WiMAX Internet access outdoors,” Alexander Gorbunov, COMSTAR-UTS Strategy and Development Vice President, noticed.
   
Along with this offer, COMSTAR-UTS also launch new equipment for WiMAX network access: USB modem and WiMAX/Wi-Fi router.
