Novosibirsk, Russia’s third largest city, was a pilot project for the program. This October, Yandex expanded its local network into Novosibirsk by leasing a channel into the city and setting up its server equipment at NSK IX, the Novosibirsk Internet Exchange Point.
Today, the company also announced that is has placed its server equipment in Ekaterinburg at EKT-IX, the Ekaterinburg Internet Exchange Point recently set up by the Russian Institute for Public Networks (RIPN).
The next cities to enter the Yandex Local Network Program will be Samara, Rostov-on-Don and Vladivostok.
To enter the Yandex Local Network Program and to get advertising support from Yandex, an Internet provider has to include all Yandex services in their local payment plans and inform subscribers about the services.
