It is reported that revenue from the sale of MTS phones in the second quarter decreased by 47% to 7.9 billion rubles. This is despite the fact that the number of outlets has increased by 1.5% year-on-year. Head of MTS Vyacheslav Nikolaev admitted that the network stopped access to a certain number of goods, which led to a price increase. We’re talking specifically about smartphone brands Apple and Samsung.
