The European telecommunications company Tele2 AB announced that net subscriber growth in Russia in November 2011 amounted to 48 000 users. Thus, at present Tele2 Russia serves 20.5 million subscribers. By the end of the year Tele2 expects to increase the subscriber base to the level of 20,6-20,7 million. According to Dmitry Strashnov, president of Tele2 Russia, the company decided to focus on reducing churn, and will not take part in the race for new connections. Russia remains a key market for Tele2, and the operator will continue to maintain a balance between attracting new customers and return business. "
