Renova-Media Holding reported that it began providing triple-play services for home users in Moscow and the Moscow region.  The payment for these services will be incorporated into one bill.  IAS, one of the Holding’s companies, will provide digital telephony services, said CNews (www.cnews.ru).  

In the near future IAS will offer IP telephony services to all local home users subscribed to ACADO (ComCor-TV), EXE Corporation and other operators that are a part of Renova-Media Holding.

This means that Renova-Media will be able to offer a full triple-play package (internet, TV and telephony) to its users.  The unlimited tariff will cost about USD 13.50 per month.  According to CNews, Central Telegraph (QWERTY) has been the first company in Moscow and the Moscow region to offer this service to its users. 

CNews reported that by the end of 2007 the number of the Renova-Media broadband access subscribers will reach 500,000.  According to Mr. Yury Pripachkin, President of Renova-Media, the ARPU for triple-play services will reach about USD 40 monthly.  The President of Renova-Media believes that IAS may add some 40,000 to 50,000 new triple-play service subscribers annually.  Renova-Media investments in this digital telephony project will amount to about US 20 million – USD 26 million, said CNews.
