CIS: Teasers out for VimpelCom’s Central Asian towers
Teasers are out for the sale of 12,400 VimpelCom towers in Central Asia, with TAP Advisors believed to be running the process.

And with few existing towercos in the region, VimpelCom’s process could inaugurate a new era of shared infrastructure in Eurasia.
