 I'm here at ITU Telecom World 2012 in Dubai and I'm very pleased to be joined by Dennis Svetlov, who is Deputy Minister for Telecoms and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation. Deputy Minister Svetlov, I'd like to start off by asking you about the radical transformation of the ICT sector and its implications for industry and for the world in which we live in. What for you is the principal opportunity arising from this transformation? You know that Russia is a very big country and we have more than 140 million people living in the country and the territory is huge and density is not really like high. And we really see that ICT technology would give us a lot of opportunities because if we do it in the right way, e-commerce, small and medium businesses and effectiveness of work so everything we expect that it could be the basis for economy growth. And of course we are focusing to give the very good internet access to our citizens. It's both cable and wireless. And you may know we are one of the leaders right now in the world with the FODG technologies. So I think we can do much, much things here. What do you perceive to be the major challenges facing you in this transformative world? In our case it's again a territory because we need to find a technology which would give us the opportunity to give very good services to our citizens but then with not really high investments. Because if we put the cable to the small village where just kind of people living it's very difficult to make it good from an economic point of view. In terms of your response to address these challenges and to take advantage of these opportunities what's Russia's vision? We want to raise the mark so now our plan is to connect more than 5 million households per year with the speed at 100 megabits per second and also we want to deploy FODG coverage for 20 million people per year. So it's quite ambitious but we feel that we can do this. And here we are at ITU Telecom World 2012, we've got a big gathering of countries from all over the world here, very important people here, a uniquely influential audience. Why do you think that this event is important and what message would you like to convey to our uniquely influential audience here? The first thing is that we just started LTE Advanced Technology in Russia so we are the first country in the world which has a commercial network with the LTE Advanced Technology which really gives us a lot of opportunities for rural areas where we can give the great broadband. And the second one is that the internet doesn't have any boards and of course we need to find the right balance between the local rules which we apply with the international aspects so that's the good opportunity for us to discuss all those issues. Deputy Minister Svetlop, thank you very much indeed for being with us today. Thank you.
