MTS is pushed away from Uzbekistan

A court in Tashkent has annuled all the licenses of  the mobile phone
operator Uzdunrobita, the Uzbek daughter company of the Russian mobile operator MTS,

Izvestia reports. The case against Uzdunrobita was initiated by the
local regulator, the Uzbek Agency for Communications. From now on MTS has
no business in Uzbekistan.
The Uzbek Agency for Communications claims that Uzdunrobita did not have a
right to provide communication services in Uzbekistan, because itsregional branches did not have proper licenses. Only the central
company had the license, while the branches did not. The regulator
believes that by its illegal activity Uzdunrobita deprived the state
of $210 million.
