Not really. I mean, the things told above are clear enough to understand that Russia is really going to accept the CPP rule. There were some discussions on that topic in the Duma (Russian parliament), so, now the law has finally been signed by the President after it was built and confirmed by the Duma, so this is actually going to turn Russian cellular billings up to the European principles. I was always supporting the CPP rule, so I'm glad. The months before the law starts working are intended for establishing some direct money communications between operators etc. Generally, it will just lower down to 0 price for any incoming calls on Russian cellulars, but will create a price for calls from landlines to local cellulars (now they are free).
