I want to get a couple of products patented and on the market this year. People who have already done this could give me good advice on patenting, marketing, distribution, and finding investors. Where can I find successful entrepreneurs who can help? —V.W., Columbia, S.C.

Many entrepreneurs are eager to help new business owners find success, either through networking, mentoring, or even investing in startup firms.

Telecommunications 1991-2000

Compared to other Svyazinvest companies, Rostelekom complies more fully with international corporate standards, which is why foreign portfolio investors have traditionally paid close attention to it. Foreign investors own 41.48% of the company's charter capital, while Svyazinvest owns a controlling share (50.67%). In April of this year, Minsvyazi and Svyazinvest, representing the state, guaranteed the extension of Rostelekom's monopoly for another four to five years.

The state is in no hurry to end Rostelekom's monopoly, not only because it is profitable, but also because the company fulfills a social function, e.g., providing communications for the military, and is involved in redistributing funds within the sector. Inflated international and intercity rates partially compensate local operators for losses.
