A failure in the software on the trial GPRS network

Moscow, Russian Federation — December 15th, 2000 — In the process of field trials of the GPRS network a new version of software was installed on MTS’s controllers that operate base stations in the central and south-western districts of Moscow.

On December 15th, 2000 at 16:25 Moscow time there occurred a failure in the software on the controllers within the GPRS field trial area. As a result some of MTS subscribers located at the time in those areas had limited network access.

The rest areas of the network, where the GPRS software had not been installed, were functioning as usual.

At the moment additional measures are being taken to stabilize the work of the system.

The Company is expressing its deepest apologizes to the subscribers for the inconvenience caused.
