Quite a good coverage indeed, it's strange that they don't cover the "Russian-side" of Ukraine at all, while they cover Crimea which is totally Russian-speaking. BTW I travelled quite a lot around Crimea and Odessa and I could hardly see a shop selling CDMA phones or CDMA advertising in streets...

P.S. I'm fond of non existing countries! I passed very close to PMR last year and to Abkhazia and Nagorno Karabakh this year, but never entered... what a pity!

I believe the reason for this is that licenses were given for regions (not for the whole country) and in Eastern part of Ukraine is most of the businesses directly or indirectly in the hands of companies from Russia. So I assume they weren't able to get permission to extend their network overthere.

BTW: I am also big fan of so called "non existing countries". More freaks welcome to join the club.

There is actually more CDMA out there than it might seem. Take a look at www.cdg.org.
