joint success in Russia

Amino’s multi-award winning IPTV set-top boxes (STBs) is used in the

London (ceremony to be held on 6th March 2007).

solutions tailored to Russian customers", highlighted Roy Kirsopp,
VP & General Manager at Amino. "We would like to extend this success
across new territories and technology developments".

fast and comfortable access to a full range of IPTV services for
subscribers”.
