The general director of Spectrum Management Igor Guryanov, in a conversation with the publication, named the size of the share that was pledged - 25%. He did not name the volume of MegaFon's investments.

According to the newspaper, as part of the deal with Sharing Technologies, MegaFon may enter the market for developing software for managing the radio frequency spectrum and communication networks. Radio frequency sharing by different operators is already used for the 4G communication standard and allows companies to optimize frequency resources using fewer base stations. However, the technology should become even more popular in the development of 5G, since Russia has a shortage of frequencies for the new standard.

Usually, software for sharing networks is provided to subscription operators by equipment manufacturers (Nokia, Huawei, ZTE, Ericsson, etc.), says Mobile Research Group analyst Eldar Murtazin. But it is more profitable for operators to have their own sharing software - it is cheaper and will allow them to receive tax breaks, the expert said.^[2]
