Company History

Dmitry Wolobujew, first Executive Director of NSK said in 2005:

" The project idea based on the fact that there is currently a great disparity in relation prevails in Russia for access to television programs. In large cities with a population of more than half a million not less than 15 programs are transmitted from a television tower. But if you look away from the TV Tower 20 km, thus deteriorating the image transfer, after 30 km there are serious problems with the reception and after 50 km you can forget what is the analog TV.
