Increasingly, over the past few years, companies are finding opportunities in the global market. It is clear consumption is becoming globalized and even countries like Russia are catching on. Russia is most definitely not a leader in technological trends, in fact it often is one of the worlds slowest to adopt. Recently a major cell phone company, VimpelCom, entered the Russian market. A new deal will set VimpelCom up to distribute sales in over 20 different countries and hopefully doubling it's users.
