For the first nine months of 2010 CenterTelecom's revenues increased by 9.52% against the same period of 2009. Among key drivers of growth were:

· 50.6% increase in the number of subscribers of broadband Internet access services reaching 1,521,883 users (against 1,010,826 subscribers as of September 30, 2010). It contributed to 23.63% increase in revenues (RUB5.577 billion) from telematic and data transmission services in comparison with 9M 2009 data.

· 12.34% increase in revenues from local telephone communications (to RUB13.994 billion) against 9M 2009 caused by the subscribers' switch to time based billing and by adjustment of tariffs (9.6% increase in tariffs in Russia's Central Federal District on the average) in February 2010.
