AT&T and DT withdraw application for FCC approval

Ukrainian mobile and fixed broadband network operator Kyivstar, part of the Vimpelcom group, has announced that it has connected a total of 127 towns and cities to its fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) high speed network. Its most recent batch of launches were in Kostopil (in the Rivne region), Snizhne, Zugres (both in the Donetsk region) and Smila (Cherkasy region), covering 20,000 households in the four locations, and offering connection speeds of up to 100Mbps. The rollout was part of an accelerated expansion of FTTB coverage which saw Kyivstar’s number of towns covered rise from 61 to 101 in the third quarter ended 30 September 2011, driven by a 60% year-on-year rise in fixed and mobile quarterly capital expenditure (CAPEX).
