VimpelCom has emerged as the first integrated telecoms service provider in Russia through a series of recent acquisitions. Its converged multi-play offerings and mobile data services in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region as well as its new operations in the Asia-Pacific region are expected to drive its growth, while high mobile penetration, intensifying competition, and contracting ARPU will remain its key challenges.
