Gazprom-Media has become another contender for the purchase of MegaFon. Experts believe that the media holding can use the operator as a tool to deliver content. Previously, Rostelecom was interested in acquiring Megafon.
The RBC source called Gazprom another contender for the purchase of MegaFon.
The operator’s assets could become a tool for Gazprom-Media to deliver content and promote it to clients. The Gazprom-Media holding company manages NTV, TNT, Match TV and other media channels.
Earlier it became known that Rostelecom is also interested in buying MegaFon. The latter already has a mobile operator Tele2, but the company does not have enough radio frequencies, so there was interest in buying MegaFon.
