"KazakhTelecom wants to bring IP services to the market quickly and be able to rapidly deploy them," said Dmitry Kamensky, managing director, Lucent Technologies Russia and CIS. "We are proud to work with them in creating a next-generation network capable of matching and excelling service levels available anywhere else."
