Rostelecom

March 4, 2004

Meeting of OJSC Rostelecom management within the framework of the enlarged board session of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for communications and informatics

In the period of March 1 — 5, 2004 the enlarged board session of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for communications and informatics was held. The session was titled «Results of the operations in the communications and informatics sector in 2003 and objectives for 2004». On March 4 within the frames of the board session, a working meeting of Rostelecom management was held at which preliminary results of performance on different lines of activities were summed up and plans for 2004 were discussed.

The meeting was opened by the welcome speech of the General Director of Rostelecom Mr. Dmitry Erokhin. Reports on their respective activity lines were held by the Director of Organization Development & HR Management Mrs. Galina Rysakova, First Deputy General Director Mr. Vladimir Terekhov, Commercial Director Mrs. Gyulnara Khasiyanova as well as Directors of Rostelecom business units. The main subjects for discussion during the meeting were some key events in the company's business activities; tasks to promote business efficiency, reports and plans of business units' performance.

In his welcome speech the General Director Mr. Erokhin shortly summarized the results of the company's performance in 2003 and outlined the principal lines of future development. Previously the key task allotted to the management was internal reorganization, but today the company is facing the optimization and higher business efficiency challenge. Mr. Erokhin also dwelt upon the basic network development projects of Rostelecom both the completed as installation of FOCL Kaliningrad — Gvardeisk, upgrading of the network portion Moscow — Samara — Novosibirsk and those presently implemented as building of link Russia — Azerbaijan, streamlining of the section Novosibirsk — Khabarovsk.

Mrs. Galina Rysakova, Director of Organization Development & HR Management accentuated in her report the importance of application of the management system targeted at obtaining preset goals and expanded on the goals and parameters of the individual purpose planning, used in the performance of the company.

The First Deputy General Director Mr. Vladimir Terekhov stressed in his report, dedicated to optimization of the company's business activity that in parallel with the construction of new digital transmission systems the company carried out a scheduled decommissioning of analogue lines. Should the company brought off line 12 thousand kilometers of analogue lines in 2003, then this year it is scheduled to remove from service 14,5 thousand kilometers of the same. The analogue line decommissioning will lead to a drastic decrease of operational expenses and technical staff.

When the Commercial Director Mrs. Gyulnara Khasiyanova summed up the results of the company's business performance in 2003, she pointed out the following key events of the previous year:


  • Rebalancing of tariffs for domestic long-distance services in Moscow;
  • Reforming of inter-carrier settlement scheme for passage of domestic long-distance traffic;
  • Alteration of the tariff-setting for calls to mobile communication network def-codes;
  • Changing of tariffs for digital circuits.

Among the principal activities for 2004 mentioned by Mrs. Gyulnara Khasiyanova were:


  • Liaison with regulatory authorities and regional operators on matters related to revision of the inter-settlement procedure between regional operators and locally interconnected carriers so as to eliminate bypass of Rostelecom's network;
  • Introduction of new tariffs for international services;
  • Revision of inter-settlements for domestic long-distance circuits leased to users in order to abandon the percentage ratio-based sharing of revenue and change over to direct payments for actual services.

Mrs. Khasiyanova also underlined that it was important to revise the system of incentives in business operations, particularly in branches and to develop new services (introduction of the unified card, promotion of intelligent services, penetration of the traffic transit market Europe — Asia), to enhance the quality of services (set up a customer service centre).

In closing of the event some meetings in working order of Rostelecom officials were held.
